Transformation 5

 

Clay Story

Size 3x100

Acrylic paint, oil pastels, paper, wood glue

For the final piece I started by cutting up the last transformation once again, instead of cutting tiny squares I cut the piece into long strips. Once it was all cut up I painted each strip with black acrylic paint. I then decided what I wanted to paint on the strips, I wanted t create a comic book like feel without the story. I picked images that I thought had the same energy and traced them into sections, after that I outlined each section with white paint to create the comic book like layout. After it was all laid out I took oil pastels and created the background to have an ombre effect, I picked the colors specific to contrast each other and colors to draw the eye. For the final look a place all the pieces in one big line which can be seen in the video below. 

Transformation 4

 

Spiraled Eyes

Size 18x22

Spray paint, acrylic paint, wood glue, paper, tape

This piece was about taking the last transformation and trying to turn it back into a flat piece of art work. I cut up the sections which created tiny squares that I could layout flat and then glued all the pieces together using wood glue. Once it dried I proceed to paint the whole thing black to create a blank canvas. After that I take blue spray paint and covered most the piece and then I took a purple spray paint and lightly sprayed in. Once that all dried I figured out what I wanted to paint on top, I started painting the face and felt there was too much room and then added all the line work around it. 

Transformation 3

 Squeezed Ocean

Size 5x7

paper, acrylic paint, charcoal, wood glue

For this transformation I wanted to take a big step by completely disfiguring the paper. To do that I decided to cut up the piece of paper into tiny strips and turn them into thick rings that I would then go on to paint a solid blue. After I had painted them I made the decision to stick them all stuffed and smash them flat down. It created this pull apart affect due to the spaced in between the layers. 

Transformation 2

 

Chaos in Color

Size 12x36

Acrylic paint, paper, and charcoal

In this transformation I wanted to add color and cover the whole thing in an abstract design. Due to space issues it had to be moved around while drying and was rolled up. The acrylic paint dried ups and acted as glue, sticking the paper together which then created this form. The final was not what I was expecting to create but overall turned out well.
