I started to conceive this piece in June during one of the taught workshops with visiting lecturer Anna Ray. I blogged about this here.
The final piece is yet to emerge from this process. For now the version it is currently taking is shown below
The film below shows a close up detail of the work installed in the garden studio.
Next steps
Take the piece into the postgraduate studio and see how it works in a different space.
I want to embed structure into the piece as a paper sculpture to allow the curve I had managed to get in the maquette. I am going to do some further technical trials to see how this will work.
I will make this in varying materials too, looking at thickness of paper. I also am thinking of making a fibreglass version and have already made some inquiry into this with the technicians at the University of Hertfordshire 3D2.
Further more, I will make further paper cut sculptures from the proposals made in Practice One. I would like to make some very large scale mono prints like the maquettes see link above and them fold them into paper sculpture.
