fahm aminals

ok so looking at the shingles i automatically think barn. I think farm and farm animals. I thought about painting the animals r a farm scene but i think that s pretty generic so i thought about animal prints. Most animal prints that people wear and a re recodnisable are more jungle animals rather than farm animals but this is good. Having less to do with recodnising a pattern kind of frees me. I can make this series about color, texture, and getting the 'feel' of the animal i am representing just by using the colors of the animals coat. The cow might be a challenge because i specifically dont want people to look at it from far away and thing 'thats a cow'. But the animals i plan to use for colors are a cow (black and white), a pig (pink and brown), a beagle (black brown and white), and a rooster (white with speckles of black green red). This is an expieriament in color. Also using the surface of the shingles to create something different from the start. these will be four separate shingles no frames and should be hung on the wall in a line as a series. With this in mind they should all be different enough to be interesting but still have colors that compliment one another.

Rollah Coastah


okay so i wicked wanna make a rollah coastah out of the steel wire rame flower thingies. When fiddleing with the objects i looked around at the things i thought they looked like tracks. Not train tracks but roller coaster tracks. So i would construct a miniature coaster out of the wire, and other objects to make the verticle supports. I would make several passenger cars and a little station where my imaginary miniature passengers will wait in line. I will probably spray paint it to have a cool rolller coaster color scheme and even have a theme to it.
