- Thinking through making
- Learning and picking elements from mistakes.

· Used it as a stencil, trying to create something
like this foiled fabric fig no.1.Due to its funky look, I thought I could
create something more subtle to achieve a futuristic feel.
fig no.2 shows the negative of what I achieved in the first trial.
· It resembles to concrete roads, so much so that
it inspired me to take the ground and the sky as a contrasting yet abstract element
to be introduced in my work.

There is a lot of sky involved in my primary
images due to the human vs building’s’ angle., see fig no.3. Therefore, I have translated the
grey clouds with abstracting silver leaf on different backgrounds to experiment.
Foil vs silver leaf
Foiling
– not as solid as silver leaf. I prefer
silver leaf over foiling. After experimenting the foil on bond-e-web, PVA glue,
impasto paste and double sided tape, double sided tape gave the most satisfactory
result (as seen in the sketchbook).
 |
Silver
leaf – gives a denser surface and texture, extremely delicate to create a soiled ground; easier to control for abstract sections.

Pining
Fig no. 4 shows a sticker that is found on most security related
food, I found this one on a Manuka honey Jar. Its subtle metallic lines
attracted me to save it. I used it to try and translate it somehow through
using pins. What I have managed to create, fig no. 5, looks more like a circuit
or a very technical button of a machinery.
 |
| fig no.4 Very hard to take the sticker off the jar, neatly. |
