Colour results / Composition.

Colour

Here are the results of all my experimental pigment adding. There was no thought process behind selecting the colours, I just used what was there, but I tried to stick to blue/grey with a hint of orange after a while as I thought too many loud colours would just be too predictable- they already look like magic mushrooms as it is! Overall I like the colours but I think I would like to experiment with sprays using different base colours and different sorts of flip paint - perhaps in layers or sections like in these pieces.

Composition

I originally wanted to create a structure like in my initial drawing. To me, if they are stacked like BELOW then they don't allude to mushrooms, especially if they are all one or similar colours throughout and bound to one another seamlessly with more foam (plus tarmac and resin in areas) all over. However it was noted to me that this was too predictable and that perhaps I should think a bit more about how they would be displayed. The only other thing I am thinking about doing with them is combining them with wide metal poles, much like in my last series of sculptures. This would lift them high above the ground and make them seem much heavier than they actually are - which has become a reoccurrence in my work. As I've stated before, I'm still not sure what I'm going to do with these pieces in relation to my final exhibition, they could potentially be placed around a larger centre piece. I am too fixated on the fact I don't want them to look like mushrooms to be happy with them.
