Evaluation of paint sculptures

06/01/16

Continuing on with my colour association theory, I have begun to experiment further with pouring paint over small sculptures I have made using left over plaster from other experiments. 

I have filmed the actual motion of pouring the paint and have began to experiment making short videos that show the change of the sculpture that shows the sculpture before and after.

Will Kendrick:

Will Kendrick is an artist who pours paint over everyday objects, much like I have. The materials he uses means that the paint retains the shape it made while poured, and so traps the object within a cover of textured colour.

Taking his work into account, I could also look at doing something similar, however, rather than the focus being in the actual object, it would be on the shape and how it changes throughout the stages of the application process and the drying process.

To do this, I will be filming the actual process of pouring the plaster and the setting process, as well as he colour application process to make a full video of the full process and the change in form and colour

Using wax:

To get the same effect as Kendrick, I thought about using wax and letting it cool in a way that let the hot wax drip down, however, it only coated a thin layer of wax onto the leaf. Eventually, after dipping it enough times the coat got thicker and droplets did start to form, but not in a strong enough formation for me to consider using further.
