Hanging Prints

02 June 2017 20:00

Even though I've used a lot of cellophane in the model box just fine, in the actual 8ft cube it's proving very difficult to work with and sticks to everything. I tried exchanging it for cling film and cling filmed the whole box but it still wasn't working. 

Then I wondered whether the prints I made at the beginning could work in the space a bit better. They would have more rigidity and less boldness in colour, not to mention being able to be layered in themselves!

Here's some images of some large prints I've made this week and how they work in the space. I also put a bulb in the centre because I like the idea of something being central and the work having a direct reference to light in general. It also kinda reminds me of Cornelia Parker's 'Cold Dark Matter' piece where the shapes make beautiful shadows around the room.

I put some cellophane in there too, but you can see it doesn't really work the same as the prints. I'm thinking of a large piece you can see from several angles and where hopefully the prints can cast shadows of colour, like windows. Thing is that it's an open, light space and the bulb is probably never going to be bright enough.
