- Made:
- 1964
Gelatin silver print of Roy Ashton's plaster cast head of Sasha, created for the film 'The Gorgon' (1964). Ashton made plaster cast heads and then coloured the casts to look as if they were made out of stone. To create a stone-like effect for Sasha's hair, Ashton had to make a lady's wig out of plasticine and then colour it to resemble stone.
