Second Body of work final piece

ink, acrylic, marker and biro large development
 350 X 150 Cm

While working on my large scale piece I continued my development and small pieces experimenting with dropping the ink onto different materials such as canvas, cotton and silk to see the different effects and how they work. I think that it would be interesting to work on different materials than paper, and the effects that the ink gives on each material is very interesting. Because of this I decided to do some artist research into artists that experiment with materials and how they use them one of the artists that I looked at was Tauba Auerbach who folds and spray paints her canvas before stretching it.

Example of Tauba Auerbach's work

This gave me the idea of folding and ironing the fabric then painting the circles on the folds before opening it out and stretching it. I did a few of these on paper to test out the idea and it seemed to work really well, it created some really interesting patterns which I could then draw my circle patterns onto. For the rest of the week I decided to continue finishing my last piece before moving onto this next body of work.
