From this weeks brief I had two initial ideas using basic cardboard sculpture and so decided to make them both. The first one was three layers of different things progressing forward, in order to create a dimension and shadow. The other piece was a white box with threads going through it and then a piece of cardboard chain overlapping the thread. Both of these pieces created interesting shadows, however, the one with the box created the best. From these two pieces I took photographs and edited them on Photoshop. This resulted in some really interesting compositions for me to work from, from one of the photos I produced an oil painting. I had never thought of using shadow within my work before, but from doing this project I have found how interesting it can be. It changes the scale of things and creates illusions within simple pieces. You begin to question what is and isn't shadow. I am going to explore shadow further in my work to see what else I can produce.
