Bigger Sculpture

I made a larger scale vertical coin sculpture. The outer side of the coin rings is made from brown paper spattered with the colours that are seen in money notes.

 I love the shadows that the piece make against the black and white backdrop.

 I then placed the first sculpture piece behind the new one and created the mixed shadows.

 Interlinking each coin shape creates a new movement in the coins. I got this idea from a pile of coins left on the table that were overlapping.

Its my stop-motion video! I think I will need a few more photos to stick in the next one to make it longer :)

Pizza Print

I decided to do a print today, when you go into a shop you buy products. I printed onto the products to form the basis of my print. I then used the product (ie. pizza box) as the printing object. The product of the product- money to product to money.

 I really like the was it came out, a blur of the reminants of money.

Have you ever looked at the colours that fly by you everyday and blur them into one - well that is what I did.

The Euro notes have many different colours such as grey-green, blue, red, yellow, and if you were lucky to have a purple or green!

Art?

I'm working on essays at the minute so I will be concentrating on that for a week or so. More blogs soon :)

Stop Motion!

This video is absolutely amazing!  My next task.

A start at 3D

 I love rings so i decided to mess around with some UK coins and make a ring! I layered coins on top of each other to make a pillar like shape. I like how the colours of the coins jump from their usual order. There is a bit of weight in the ring itself, I suppose its expensive taste*.

 You have all probably seen a pool of coins thrown down on a table somewhere- I decided to pick it up and make it vertical.

 I used the cardboard from an empty toilet roll and taped it into a circular coin shape.

  I like the way you can see what money is - its hollow and empty but without it what would we have?
You can see from my photograph of the basic shape of a 5 euro note on the right that its paper...money is just paper- crumpled, printed, paper.

 I had to capture the shadow that my piece made- I love the layout of it against the blank wall- it looks like its drawn onto the wall itself!
