"So," She said "The days have worn away, have they?" - Aging and Wounds with Latex

During the development of the character Miss Havisham, it was obvious to create the bedraggled hairstyle that looked worn and slept in so due to the prior Estella hair trials I was able to know that to help slightly age Miss Havisham’s character the design would need to more similar to the barrel roll look as this had aged the model before and I felt assured it would complete the look.

So when developing Miss Havisham’s character I decided to focus on some of the more subtle detailing that a TV/Film camera could pick up on and in the novel ‘Great Expectations’ Dickens portrays Havisham as having almost a nervous/anxious domina - it was shown in the BBC adaptation as her excessively scratching her hands so using Latex and grease paints I was able to create a to the eye subtle but obvious show of this self inflicted damage she causes to herself.
