All Things Pink –

We had lots of fun today! Alex Schady put on a fab pink themed workshop. If I’m totally honest I struggled to get my sculpture to ‘work’ exactly as I wanted it to, but it was still a great session!  I got a little sidetracked by some of the materials I was using.  I became quite absorbed by the layers of plastic that I could create.  However, the project brief required the sculpture to hold a smartphone.  Unfortunately my sculpture was a little flimsy and my phone very heavy, so it was a recipe for disaster.  Luckily my creation just about managed to make it to the end of the day.  Below is a picture of Alex Schady in the photographic studio wearing his sculpture.  I really liked Alex’s creation, which was a much better and more solid design for holding a smartphone.

Shots of My Creation

Below are some shots of my strange pink layered sculpture.  Sadly it really struggled to hold my heavy iPhone.  However, I did manage to shoot some video.

Textures

I was really intrigued by the textures created by the plastic layers of my creation.  So when I could I grabbed a few shots.

Wearing Our Creations

Once our creations were finished, we headed off to the photo studio to be photographed wearing our creations.  Here are are few shots.

Making Connections

After returning from the mini photoshoot, we began connecting our structures with a view to connecting all of us together as a group.  Below is a video of everyone on the roof terrace and brief footage as we headed outside as a group.  Unfortunately my iPhone ran out of storage so I missed most of the outside walk. However I think it shows what we were doing.

Variation on a Theme

I couldn’t resist trying out my favourite music and filter on a few more clips from the day.  I thought that the colour changes due to my filter were quite interesting, so I’ve added this video as a variation.

The Installation

At the end of the day we were tasked with using our creations to produce an installation.  Again we worked in groups. Below are a few snaps of what we all created.

Experimental Shots

I know from previous experimental work that lights and plastic material can create some interesting work.  So in order to wrap up the day, I lit up my creation and produced the shots below. Today was a great start to the low residency and I’m looking forward to tomorrow.
