Larger scale!!

I comleted a series of silluettes using a very delicate paper stensil I made. I really liked the results and plan on doing more. IT was very time consuming... It took most of a week to finish cutting all the intricate desins!! I thouroughly enjoyed the process though and am happy with the results!! The paper, as it was so delicate, curled very interestingly(Ill look for some pictures!!) Heres some of while their being sprayed an some results!!

shaddows!!

I began cutting paper stensils of designs I found interesting on the fountain. The design and detail is really amazing and uncharactoristicly delicate for cast iron. When I had them cut I started playing with lighting and photographing the wonderfuly dainty shadows I saw. This is really fun i plan on persuing this further mayby photoshopping the images??

larger scale!

My first attempt at a large scale went well. I sprayed the stensil and used it then seperately and found it caught interesting shadows... Looking into this further.

After spraying the stensils i began to think of what i would do with them next... So I explored different papers to spraypaint onto. I found the satin sheen spraypaint had an interesting reaction to newspaper blacking out the words completely in parts but subtley fading them as the piant gradually got thinner. Then when I feel i have enough copies of that stensil I stick them down creating a silluette image with the stensil itself. I feel after expirimenting at small scale I want to work much bigger!! As the fountain itself is quite large this should be a good path!!

spraypainting

After cutting some stensils in a small scale i began to think how i would go about making my silluette image. I chose to use a satin finish spraypaint as I thought its coverage would be ideal for imprinting the stensil and leaving a monotone silluette image.

silluettes

After taking the colour out of the object I really focused on the distinct silluettes i was seeing. I found the shapes created by making this form 2D and monotone really eyecatching so I worked twards this theme by making myown stensils to create a silluette look.
