Final Rooftop Installation

Bearing in mind myself and Hannah had less that a week to come up with another final piece and most of the equipment we would have like to use such as the laser cutter and projectors were fully booked up until after the deadline. As well as having changed our piece twice previously and spending a lot of money on materials, the overall outcome of our installation I was exceptionally happy with. Considering some groups had up to six members collaborating in the timescale we had, I felt like we had achieved a lot on our own. 

Within this project, even though we didn’t get to work with other students from courses like I would have liked too. I still believe that Hannah and myself worked out of our comfort zone and definitely pushed boundaries within our piece, for example using techniques I had never worked with before such as knitting. which he had never been inducted on so was all done by hand and took a considerably long time compared to the machines in uni. We then combined this with our stronger areas that are Photoshop and projections to create a strong final piece.

We were worried that the acetate wasn’t going to be bright enough, but with the natural sunlight shining through this really picked up the different colours and textures through the images and worked better than expected.
This was the first time I had successfully created a final piece on a large scale as usually we just sample our ideas and processes through mixed media and its more about the exploration and challenging, rather than actually making a final outcome on a large scale. I really enjoyed working with new techniques such as the knitting and would definitely like to continue with this and hopefully get inducted on the knitting and weaving machines next year so I could create some samples on a much larger scale in a quicker time. Still using technologies that I had previously used through all my projects such as light and projection to combine within.
