Shadows

Using a projector, I shone light through my wood crane sculpture onto large white pages onj a wall in order to copy the shadows created. I did some on A1 size paper to see how it would look and I liked the effect so I got a much larger sheet from the technichians (around 5ft x 6ft) and painted the shadows on very carefully with thick black paint.

ps. This post was supposed to be up last week, but for some reason it never posted, just saved into the draft posts folder...

We can see from this image the size of the page required for this projection.

The crane had to be placed pretty damn close to the wall to keep the shadow from distorting.

(Attempting to confirm my suspicions that nobody reads these things)

                                  Here are the final pieces created from painting over the shadows.

The above images are painted on standard A1 sized cartridge paper. Just to test the

method without wasting higher quality materials.

Next I tried some think cradboard sheets. This worked much better than the paper

because it help the paint better and didn't buckle at all.

Finally I used the Think White Paper from the roll. This worked best of all.

The image came out much cleaner and sharper and the scale was much more impressive than the abstract-esque effect from the other smaller pieces.
