This week I have started to work 3 dimensionally. Taking inspiration from Charles Clary, I have translated shapes from my drawings into Cardboard pieces. Ive then stacked pieces to create a contrast in relief and covered in paper. Ive used corrugated card as its cheap and versatile. It was however quite a lengthy process to make and perfect, and so took longer than imagined. Therefor I didn't make as much as I had planned. I think the pieces look best when they stay in the formations from the drawings. When i started to configure and abstract the placement, it looked aimless, and took away from the overall structure.
I’ve also been combining some of my drawings together to create contrast in colour, size, shape and height. In the above image, I started to combine shapes from a painting, however the scale of the squares don’t particularly look right and it is not painted yet. During my tutorial it was suggested that I should etch into the pieces to create textures. I could also make them kinetic by adding fixings or bolts- adding a sense of interaction.
