FLIGHT

Acrylic and wood installation. (5 meters x 2 meters approx).

This older work of mine of hand cut, hand painted triangular shapes created a visual movement of Colour that seemed to take flight. The planning for this installation first involved getting the exact dimensions correct for the triangle template as I needed to be able to create a perfect ‘octagon’ with the shapes combined.

Then it was a process of choosing the two colour combinations that each piece would have, and how they interacted with each piece next to it. After constructing the three ‘base’ octagons, it was then a matter of the design generating outward and combining together.

The negative space created was just as important here as the eye tends to ‘connect the shapes’ and the wall installation seems to complete itself and subconsciously expand all on its own.

I really like this work as it took a long time to plan, make, paint and install, but the effect was worth it overall.

I was then asked to install this as a permanent display outside a local cafe.
