Continuig from my artist/designer reasearch, I created 3 model based off Georgia O’Keeffe and Anish Kapoor’s techniques and styles in Thursdays class.
Below is my first model. This model explores the intersection of colour volumes and light.
This model mainly focuses on the techniques and style of O’Keeffe. With this model, I explored the fluid form and depth that O’Keeffe focuses her work around. This model is made to be temporal, as it is moved its form changes. The fabric I used was a sheer chiffon-like fabric. the transparency of the material allows a depth of layering in the shadow cast. The overlaying fabric creates a darker shadow whereas the single film of fabric creates a light and sot shadow. I chose the colour of the fabric to correlate with O’Keeffe’s colour palettes in her paintings.
Below is my second model. This model explores surface textures and shadow.
With this model I explore the different texture and form created by different fabrics and material and how they interact with each other, specifically in relation to light. The wire used created structure. Although not an essential part of my study, Kapoor’s work has a large focus on structure and I wanted to include this in my model without it being overpowering. The intertwined chiffon and tulle fabrics reflections were distorted through the glossy, reflective film. The reaction to light was quite interesting. Like the first model, the shadow cast by the fabrics created a layered shadow. If studied closely, the shadow from the tulle expressed the texture of the fabric into a form of print on the white surface. Scattered through the shadow form was a fluid, water-like reflection of light from the reflective film. the model expressed depth not only in its physical form, but also in its reaction and imprint of light.
Below is my third and final model. This model connects the first and second model, producing a series of thresholds or transitions between.
This is my third model. This model combines my first and second model together. I noticed in my second model the fluid form and movement of the reflective film. This above model explores the manipulation of light through distorted reflection and the soft, fluid form that this projection creates. Although the wire brings back a sense of structure. this model is constructed to allow me to photograph the affects of lighting and its reaction to the fluid reflective film against a plain curved surface.
