The Ancient Egyptians

My most recent project brief is Time, and amongst all my portfolio organising I've come up with a few bits on the subject of our ancient friend Tutankhamun. 

I've always found the Ancient Egyptians fascinating, and came across a hieroglyphics book in the library the other day and ended up spending the day reading loads of books on the pyramids and mummies and all sorts. 

Death masks are eerie and beautiful so I've looked at quite a few of them.

Here I made Tutankhamun out of parcel tape - I wanted to show the shininess of his death mask as well as the stunning and iconic shapes that have been painted on to him.

Here's a bit of a twist on your classic mummy, a bit of leopard print in there. I know the Ancient Egyptians liked their cats so I'm calling this one Tutankardashian because he's a bit more glam and 'in season'.

And here are some left handed drawings of things that Weston Park Museum told me that you need to go into the afterlife - you'll thank me one day.
