Drawing approach for 'Starting with the Light'

The Drawing Journey:

A combination of sketchbooks - planning, capturing in a journal, working out the final exhibition space




Photography and drawing with light:
Imagery inspired by Thomas Edison (light bulb filaments)
Photography
Flames
Bike lights
Blow torch
Printed imagery

Spray paint and the filaments. Loose, gestural mark making.









Experimentation with paint
Moving into the medium of paint. Drawing experimentation with layering of glazes, experimenting with painting techniques with oil and acrylic paint. Multiple layers of paint to achieve a movement in the painting Im looking for. 
Many hours spent with the  preparatory drawings, who knew it would be so complex!?

Light Installation planning - drawing with light - fibre optics
Drawings and plans developed in the sketchbook - measurements of how the exhibition space needs to be set up to work with the lighting. Playing and developing the coloured gels to be used to create the right feel in the space as well and compliment and work with the final painting.

The plan is to bring together 2 mediums - a final painting and light installation.

Objective:
2 parts = > than the sum of 2
