I was working from the photograph I showed yesterday, I wanted to cut up the lines somehow and create a new image from it so I could move on without repeating the same lines but I wanted to do it simply because I didn't want the new image to be too much (I knew the old lines were still going to be involved somehow and they are pretty detailed). I decided I wanted to do this by creating a box type object with three sides and the image of the lines on the inside and a block colour on the outside, so that when viewed from different angles, the block colour of the outside walls cut up the image and create a new one.
I spent too long mono printing the image on to card, putting it together with copydex and putting paper of a different, block colour on the back. I thought it would be ok to use copydex because I was going to put another layer of paper on the back and hopefully cover it all up, but this didn't really work very well and it looked generally ugly in the end. It wasn't sitting up the way I wanted it to, the copydex was visible in some areas and had warped some of the paper on the back.
I felt like this object had failed badly and stopped being able to move on with my work because I didn't like what I had been doing. After a while of not doing anything I went to my tutor with my ugly object and asked her for some guidance. She suggested actually working with a photographic print of and making this 3D, because photographic paper is good to work with in 3D.
This was the end of my day of work because I had to go and get the photos printed at boots to move on. I feel like I have had a lot of time just doing nothing lately because I can't move on without completing the thing I'm doing. I think normally, I leave things unfinished quite a lot and go back to them at the end of the project when I am rushing to get it all finished.
