I first have to make a careful assessment of my level of grime. You see, having carefully considered my own provenance, the year in which I was born, the climate in which I live, It’s fairly safe to say, I can use any standard off the shelf soap to begin to remove some of the grime layer.
Starting with a stick and a piece of cotton, I’ll make my own cotton swabs, and I’ll carefully test out the soap on an unnoticeable “test patch”. Having carefully assessed that the cleaner I’m using is not too aggressive, I’ll go ahead and work over my entire body with a cotton swab. Ive sped up the process here but heres a 9 hour time-lapse of me cleansing my body. Every so often, I also like to look at myself in my dark room under UV light to determine if any conservation work has been done on me before.
finally, as I hop out of the shower, I wrap my hair between some mylar film on the hot table and suck all the air out creating a vacuum, so that it lays nice and flat. Last thing to do is to apply a coat of varnish, here I’m using my spray gun because it allows me to reach just the desired amount of sheen.
