STUDIO LAB : LIGHT AND SURFACE INTERACTION – WEEK 8

Date : 6/03/2020

Creating textures was a really creative journey which I really enjoyed while fabricating. Since I explored with a lot of materials leaving out textured papers, I really couldn’t sometimes control free flowing variable materials like wax and many other. The beginning of this assignment was very basic, but getting acquainted with every material I had, I started getting my hands into a movement with the tools and understanding the form of materials and started experimenting with it. With every new creation every texture was getting better in its appearance. While doing this I definitely had to go through a tough selection of which is better and discarding more fair samples than I had made.

Week 7, when we started making the textures I did not take into consideration of expanding these textures onto a larger scale which we were asked to do this week. We also had a peer to peer review in class. We found one or the other interesting sample of texture. During this review we also played around a lot with light and saw the difference light could make. It literally did transform the entire appearance.

At first I thought light was something I couldn’t partially control because it wasn’t something I could really take control of. It chooses its direction or movement. But through exercises and assignments in class I realised that I really it really didnt have to be controlled it is a material itself. Now reading the light and materials article does really make sense to some extent. I was skeptical about reaching to this point but I tried to take care of the output of these textures.

I rolled cellophane paper and kept one side of it exposed to the sun and it created this texture. It really looks fascinating to me.
