For my finished (sort of) project on Tuesday, I changed from working only with reflections using watercolor on paper to using reflective surfaces, such as glass and plastic. I painted directly on plexi-glass for some, and laminated other work. Then I bought a clear bucket, filled it with water and submerged my images. I wanted to create work that forced an interaction with the viewer. The viewer needs to go up to the work and stick it into the water, and then find distortions and reflections. It is a one-on-one way of looking at the images, and what is seen is different for every person.
For next week I want to work with mirrors and see how that will change my work. I was thinking I could glue a mirror to the bottom of a bucket of water, and then paint an image on another mirror and have it reflect in the mirror in the bucket (did that make sense?) Anyway, I'll see how that works out when I find mirror. I also might branch out from the images of buildings and do some abstract work on glass, plastic, and mirror.
