It was another beautiful day reaching 22C! We have been so lucky with the weather. We spent a lot of the morning discussing colour. As this is new to Hannah it was interesting to see how our experiments would go. We talked about the colours we'd found in the forest (left by humans), how they contrasted with the colours we expected to find, and how to use them to our advantage. We looked at colour wheels and paint charts and kept coming back to the primary colours - red, blue and yellow. There had also been discussion about fluorescent and even neon colours, so we substituted the red for pink for our cause (This also struck us as the CMYK printing colours). Once settled we decided to flock our logs first (I'm afraid we are keeping the finished result as a surprise for the exhibition!), the idea being that flock has the same feel as moss, and so rather than just painting the logs we are assimilating them, covering their wounds with flock.
We also experimented with the same colours on our photographs, testing how the colours worked, Hannah progressed her practice as she already draws on her photographs (these are also an exhibition surprise...). Today was productive and completed a chunk towards the final exhibition in September.
