I was asked to create an image, suitable in material, to adorn the length of the top of two bathroom walls for a holiday home in France.
Together with the "client", we decided a sequence of imagery to provide a narrative along the length of the wall, in a mosiac format would be most interesting.
We developed the idea of having the phases, faces and stages of the moon in sequence; originally planning to just use equally sized moons with an increasing face/decreasing dark side, however, when it came to actually planning the image, the layout/size of the moons etc etc i felt it would be more interesting and creatively hygenic to provide some drama to the image by adding angle and perspective to the image, and only having it travel the length of one wall, using a solid colour mosiac to "hold" the image, making it a greater, more dramatic point of interest, rather than spreading out the pattern.
So by using an arc (maybe the only thing that was drawn free-hand and not calculated), various sized circular objects and the measurements of the area provided I set about creating the image.
Once I had created a bass idea for the image, as well as blue prints/"technical" drawings to the actual measurements, I set about trying to find a few bass colours.
My initial ideas are, considering the bathrooms current colour theme is white and blue, to stick mainly to those colours, in the idea that the, hopefully interesting, shapes will attract peoples eye, but maybe also throwing in a slight variation
to provide some interest, such as teal, turquoise or a light grey/"not shiney" silver.
It's going to be quite a while, late august at the earliest, before I get to see any advance or begin actually making this when we go on holiday, so keep your eyes peeled for more!
