The topic was "object and space" and the project this week was to make a set design, stage design, exhibition design - to translate a 2D drawing into 3D space - and "to understand the visual influence of light, dark, texture, shape and proportion in relation to the human figure". All this in a shoebox... and using one-point perspective. I brought along a printout of Bridget Riley's "Loss" as inspiration, and used it for the back wall -- after spending an inordinate time painting the inside of the shoebox white, for the functional/cool/technical "cool hotel" that I was imagining.
Instead of using the opened up, tilted shoebox, it seeed better to have a peephole in the near end. The corridor would have to close in on itself -- and the doors would stand slightly open, for a slightly sinister effect, a bit of foreboding perhaps. Here's the mockup - including huge pots for plants - and a bit of paper on the right to hide the huge void behind those doors -
A few hours, a bit of measuring, cutting, folding and hot glue later - only the plants in the pots are needed --
(But the chicken-wire chicken is still unresolved, unfinished.)
