Testing different materials

I had always had it in mind that this piece would be printed on fabric, or a similarly floaty material. I had already bought some red florists cellophane to print jelly forms on, and so I tested my bull screen on that. 

I discovered how effective printing on fabric can be last summer, during the development of my end of year show pieces. Curating my AI children portraits on screen silk and suspending them distorted their image interestingly and invited curiosity because they were partially hidden. 

And I feel that the choice of fabric works for this piece but in a different way; because it references a matador cape which invokes notions of blind anger and agression. These emotions feel appropriate when examining late stage capitalism and subverting this sculpture.

My only other reflection at this point is that the piece needs to be much larger. I will create a bigger screen next week to test.

I've also experimented with layering the prints which creates a real sense of chaos and violence.
