Constructed Text

Burst

Again I have come back to looking at paper piercing techniques. I really enjoyed when I last done this so I decided to take it further within this project. I was asked to create a 3D constructed text on a word. The word I chose was burst and I was asked to create the word but also what it meant. So the idea that I came up with was that I wanted the piece to look as if it was bursting into life. As you can see I began creating 2D pieces creating the words and patterns around the letters to look like the letters were bursting.

 

 

The lighting was really important within these pieces as light hit the wall you could see how the letters began to stretch away as if they were actually bursting.  The colour was also important as when the light was reflected on the wall you could see that there was a range of different colours starting off as a bright yellow fading away to a dark orange.  I feel this piece was really successful but it could have been taken much further.   



 

 

These are more of my own photos from a distance to show how the word was bursting into life.
