Plans

I am still drafting what to write on the slab. The words below are not poetic enough and come across in a up front propaganda style paragraph. I will work more on the specific wording for this so that the message I wish to convey is taken well instead of with hostility. 

Experimentation's

This is a maquette for the planned sculpture piece for the exhibition. I started by rolling the clay out and then used plastic letter presses to create the intends. I practiced with the depth of each letter to see how this would effect the word. Mostly, the depth I pressed in each letter did not have a dramatic effect on how the work looked. For the final work I would make the clay much thicker so that pressing each letter into the clay would not make it brittle. 
I then practices with an air drying glaze style paint. I used the colour I had the most spare of not what the final work would be painted with. I think that this makes the work look a little tacky and I am not sure I would use it with the large scale work. Instead I could use terracotta so that once the work is dry it is ready for display. This would make the work more traditional and earthy.
