Proposal: Colours and Textures

For my proposal for Ambika P3 Ive been logically calculating the ins and outs of my sculpture assemblage - the now decided 3 small sculptures and one main sculpture (the adapted pedestrian railing).

Included here is an investigation into visualising different textures and colors on the surface of my sculptures, to that of the 'Unhinged Consciousness (2020)'. (The black undercoat and flip paint surface).

ORIGINAL COLOUR/TEXTURE IDEA (BASED ON LAST SCULPTURES)

Expanding foam, resin, tarmac, BLACK BASE LAYER, CHROMACOAT VOODOO (flip paint).

'NOT MUSHROOMS' COLOUR/TEXTURE IDEA (BASED ON PREPARATORY WORK)

Expanding foam, resin, tarmac, NEON GREEN & PINK BASE LAYER, CHROMACOAT VOODOO (flip paint).

As opposed to the darker original idea, in this diagram I experimented with neon green and pink as the base layer instead of black, then applied Chromacoat Voodoo on top.

This process is more time consuming as I have to carefully mask areas with tape to achieve the desired paint separation. If I had a really long time to this series I would create this colour for the sculptures as it is different and interesting. However I will prioritise the first idea, as the aim of the piece is to create an unsettling, uncomfortable and forceful presence as the viewer that this colour emits. In feedback from ‘Unhinged Conciousness’ (2020), it was clear that the colour and texture combination I utilised presented the negative feelings that I sought.
