Week 3: Monday 02/10/2023
I was experimenting in the clay room but I was redirected to focus on the shadow aspect of my project, so I then focused my efforts on creating wire frames that I'm going to use to use to capture different shadows.
My first attempt, I used a thick wire and I reused the grid I experimented with while trying to get the original shadow for my graffiti piece, and used it for making a wire frame. I ran out of wire and thought it was too plain. My first attempt was a failure.
My second attempt was much more successful, I once again used a thick wire for the main frame. I stood in front of my graffiti piece and tried using eye to hand coordination to get my wire frame, which resulted in a much more organic shaped frame. I then tried to recreate the main bits of graffiti on my huge piece using thinner more moldable wire. It looks like pencil scribbles and it gives it a more chaotic energy, so I'm really happy with how it turned out.
I held it up against the projector light which resulted in some very clean and interesting shadows.
Close ups!!!!!
