Studio Progress Update for Week of February 13th to 19th
This week in the studio, I completed the imagery by getting the inner layer printed onto vellum. This was then placed beneath the polycarbonate, stencil, and a layer of mylar. The image below was placed onto a light box, but the construction of the lamp are still in the works. This is also the imagery that I used in the design of my postcard image. Following the completion of this image, I began to design imagery for my next lighting fixture. I decided the new imagery would be largely revolved around the idea of graffiti in Detroit because the reaction to these images was so strong in my most recent review. I spent the majority of the day wednesday in Detroit walking around the east side and taking pictures of graffiti on various buildings. Then, I compiled the most interesting and, in my opinion, stencil-worthy graffiti tags onto a an imaginary building in Detroit. I used images of various windows I also spotted on my visit to ensure they looked realistic and native to Detroit. After completing my design, I printed and assembled it together, and have began to cut that into black paper.
