Wool

I decided to try cover something i use daily in wool. I did this because its a space i use and can easily walk through but by taping it up I make it a space I have crawl under and work around. as you can still see through it it makes a transparent aspect to it. My sister pointed out that if you lay on the stairs and look you it looks like it goes on for a few meters, yet when you sit up you realise it is only about a meter in height.

Frosted Webs?












As frost and snow develops on webs it can have an icily layering dropping/drooping effect. My aim for the next week is to see what materials i can achieve this effect on in what mediums. At the moment it have only experimented on a chip oven pan in foam, honey, water, shampoo, cornflour, paint, glue, coffee and many others. I think i achieved quite a bit.

Failure?

I got the glass from a photo frame and decided to draw on it with pastels. I coped out a print i did during the week with material and paint. The pastel didn't stick properly so i thought about heating them, as they were oil thinking they would melt.






 i heated them just a bit to much and the glass broke.  I actually prefer this to the original piece. WIN

 I really like this image. It gives me a lot of ideas around my idea of smoke. Its mystical and haunting at the same time.

Smoke Art

I thought of another idea to do with my "Transparent" project, smoke. How does smoke come in to it you might ask? Well im very interested in photography and I thought about how smoke can be caught on camera as a piece of art work (whether if it is later photo shopped or not), and how it can make a picture or story, but once again can be walked through. This can also help me develop a "haunting", "spooky" theme to my project.




This image below by Alberich Mathews is really interesting as it is almost ghost like.

Pae White

I love this image of a piece done by an artist i previously uploaded pictures of, Pae White. This image below is almost haunting as the light is reflected onto a wall. You really have to examine the image to see what it is.

A fire? 
Coloured/light reflected water?
another piece with tinfoil?
