following the similar trend from the mgsa water show, i am working on a series of resin pours that play with size, shape, form, color, translucency and light.
water show closeups:
i have been playing with these ideas for a while now and here are some earlier pieces that correlate:
what i found through playing with resin and color over the past 2 years, is that light plays an integral role in the pieces. i have a lot of smaller pieces that people like to handle and see in different angles and with various light sources behind them. as these will be displayed in a gallery setting, and these shows are always very crowded with family members and a lot of times, young children and siblings, having delicate pieces that will be overly handled at the show, did not strike me as something desirable. therefore, after watching how people interact with the work, i have taken what i found to be the more important aspect of the work, light, and add it myself. this provides the viewer with something desirable and a new way of viewing the work, without the over handling, and possibilities of disaster.
as of right now, i have one large piece completely poured and several others in process, as well as a few smaller pieces that i may or may not include in my final presentation. each of these forms are cast in similar ways but using different materials and object to create different forms in the resin; as well a variety of colors, so that no two pieces are ever exactly the same. these are also made over the course a couple of weeks usually if not a month or two as they have to be poured in layers.
here are some photos of the current work:
as i would eventually like all of these pieces to be displayed on light tables, here is a picture of the first completed large piece, on a light table to show the effect it gives:
