Scaled up vessel

 

Making this larger piece on my own was going to prove a logistical challenge. I decided to scale it up 5 times, largely because this is the largest I could cut the pieces on the laser cutter.

I was also limited by budget as Perspex is expensive.

I felt a little nervous in the lead up to making it because it's fairly large as a sculptural piece; standing at over 1 metre in height. But all the test pieces I had made gave me so much confidence in executing this final piece. And that practise really played off because my technique was so improved that this came out perfectly. That's not hyperbole, it's perfect. The measurements, the cuts, the bends, the angles of all 4 pieces that sit perfectly flush to one another. And I glued it well and finished the surfaces off without any damage caused by the solvent glue which can be tricky to apply. Chuffed. To. Bits.

And I am just OBSSESSED with this pink. I am going to use it in my screen-print process too and have it as a strong primary colour choice for my installation; it sits well within the themes I am exploring and is just fucking delicious.
