Elyse Shapiro Studio Update for Jan 16-22

Studio Progress Update for Week of January 16th to January 22nd



Finished "Row of Occupancy" color for inner layer of lighting fixture 1. Design is intended to be placed behind and shine through original layer. When combined, the imagery looks as follows:
Up close of two layers "Row of Occupancy" and "Row of Abandonment" combined. The "Row of Occupancy" is intended to display the once- glamorous buildings in their holistic and ideal state. For example in the picture below, the building that is a victim of arson in the original design is back to its original infrastructure.
Below is an example of the "Row of Occupancy" without the "Row of Abandonment" on top of it. This shows the attention to detail I executed while creating the design on illustrator.

In-studio hours, week 3:

Monday- Printing test print for outer layer 1 of lamp. Printed first with dye, washed out, and then reprinted with textile paint. Need to continue running tests to find the most aesthetically pleasing design (4 hours)

Tuesday- Work on inner layer design for lighting fixture 1. Entitled "Row of Occupancy" is colored illustrator file to lay beneath the "Row of Abandonment" design printed fabric (6 hours)

Wednesday- Continue to work on "Row of Occupancy" (3 hours)

Thursday- Continue to work on "Row of Occupancy" and research lazy susan modem, in addition, met with Professor Rodemer to ask for tips (he has worked with kinetic art on countless occasions) (5 hours)

Friday- Finish "Row of Occupancy" design (3 hours)

Total: 21 hours
