For my display I had a table covered in paper sheets so it would look almost surgical, on this were my 're-grown skin' that had the tattoos on. Some of the skin was cut into smaller pieces so they looked more like test pieces that the futuristic people were working on. There was 2 faces but 1 of them was cut up, 2 throats but one of them was also cut up, there was a face and neck together as well as 2 arms, I didn't cut these up as they were more visually effective with an almost creepy vibe about them as a whole. I put the table next to the side wall so there would be enough room for people to move about. I wanted the 'skin' on the table to be in easy reach of the audience as I want them to feel like they want to touch it to see if it was actually skin. On the walls there are the blurred images of the sect members in their uniform with the tattoos on. There are 4 on the wall above the table, 1 on the door next to the table and 2 on the windows opposite the table. I wanted the photos where they would be really visible so I kept them at the top of the space. I didn't put my photos into frames or add anything to them as i wanted them to look as if they was in the wall rather than stuck onto it.

Edited Photos
I edited the photo's I took of the sect members so that they were blurred so that if any non sect members found the photo's they wouldn't understand them. I was also inspired by Gerhard Richter's 48 Portraits [324a] 1972.
Drawing On Latex Moulds
Making Latex moulds
To make the head and neck moulds I just covered a model of a head with liquid latex, I would put a layer on then dry it then add another layer, I repeated this until I was satisfied with the thickness.
In order to get the whole shape of the arms I used a live model arm, I covered it with vaseline, added the layers of latex then added talcum powder so that it didn't stick. I then peeled the mould off the arm.
I added talcum powder to all of the moulds so that it would dry them out.
Photo Shoot
I wanted evidence of my tattoos being used in the sect so I took photos of the sect members with the tattoos on.
