Second Body of Work

Ink and pen developments each 60 X 80 Cm

I have started the week by experimenting with ink and the way that it moves when dropped and splashed onto paper, you can never predict how it is going to fall so it gets rid of all the certainty and engineered from the forms that are made. I also experimented with throwing water at the fresh ink which created a really interesting and unpredictable splash mark that was also larger. I really like the direction in which this was going so I started two bigger pieces one where the dripping was done flat. The other when it was on a wall and thrown at, as you can imagine this created some very different outcomes, elements of both I quite liked.

On the wall one I particularly liked the small sections that the drips created where I could then work into which then created this waterfall effect, but then on the one that was on the floor I liked the way that the larger splash created which when I worked into it created a form that looked like a swarm or something growing. This week I have been looking at Diana Al-Hadid, Vlad Kulkov and Cameron Robbins because of the process that they use in there work.

I think that to move on from this I will try and incorporate the two ways of making this into one and go it very much on a large scale so I can really experiment with the process.
