I wanted to create my first hanging work. This whole process took a lot of trial and error. I took six large panels of acetate and spray painted them. I chose this material so that light would shine through my marks. Than I sewed all the panels together with a thin thread. That is when I went in with organic forms which I hand-painted with acrylic paint. I wanted the viewer to experience a nostalgic blissful feeling when going under the work and touching it. I intended for all our humanistic senses to be activated when viewing this work. The one issue I had with this work was that I wanted a structural component to the work which wasn't very necessary (I found out by the end of my investigation). During my investigation I hot-glued dowels to the acetate. This created tension. So for my final part of the process I will take the dowels out and have the work more free-hanging. This took a lot of time, but it felt like no time at all because of how early I started. Some parts were unresolved, but I learned in the end. I can't wait to go back into it!
