Thinking about this idea of the Wildling and with time to kill on the train I spent my time using digital imagery to process my thoughts a bit and try and visualise more my intentions for the costume I’m about to make. Much excitement as that’s my next step forward. Reflection
Read more "The Wildling – Part 2"The reason I am interested in looking at Image Transfer is due to the fact that there is a lot of archive material relating to the events surrounding the building of the reservoirs and the removal of the community that has potential to be distorted and used in this project. I am also keen to […]
Read more "Citrasolv"Documenting my sketchbook pages to date has made me reflect on the importance of a sketchbook as part of my process. An extension of each experiment, producing the sketchbook pages serves to give me space to step back from the doing and reflect on the process and experiment further. This helps me to see more […]
Read more "Sketch Book Pages"After the clay masters produced in Latex Masters – Part 1 had dried they had lifted off the tin foil and left a pattern that reminded me of the dried reservoir beds that I had witnessed on the Site Visits – Haweswater, Thrusscross & Derwent and Site Visits – Tryweryn I decided to create some […]
Read more "Latex Masters – Part 2"Developing the Fragments ideas further I was thinking about where I found the pieces and the fragments lying in the reservoir bed form a more solid piece to use artistically. I decided to create some masters from clay the could be used with latex. I rolled out four pieces of clay onto tin foil so […]
Read more "Latex Masters – Part 1"Having previously looked at including printed imagery on paper with latex and objects with latex I also wanted to experiment with printing on fabric. I have the laser printed samples and I decided to use an ink jet photo transfer. Again two layers of latex – thirds layer printed fabric then a layer of shirt […]
Read more "Fabric and Latex"I spent some time re-discovering the use of latex as an artist medium. Below are some observations. Latex Paint can be thickened. You cant apply latex over someone’s skin. Contaminants interfere with the latex when curing, though as an artist this is probably of benefit. Brush Latex on in thin layers – Ensure there are […]
Read more "Latex Observations"After my tutorial with Jonathan I felt really inspired to put some thought into making my wildling (tree stump) costume to be used in video footage. I have two main ideas in terms of the footage: Shooting the footage on site including using drone footage (drone now purchased) Using a green screen and applying the […]
Read more "The Wildling – Part 1"Having found several fragmented objects on my site visits I have been collecting lots of rusting household remnants such as hinges bolts and nails. All things that are akin to those objects I found. below is an example of the current state of the objects and what I hope to achieve. I have rusted items […]
Read more "Rusting Objects"Continuing on from Fragments and Latex – Part 1 I rescued some of the early failures and instead of using actual objects I used ink jet prints to experiment with. The prints were on 140 gsm ink jet paper. I applied two coats of latex onto the slates and then simply laid some of the […]
