When the artist in residence, Beth Mullins, first described this project it sounded kind of perfect to me. I've always been intrigued by texture and hearing about Beth's work furthered my interest. In the picture below is my first four blocks of a larger series of twelve blocks. I've decided for my entire series to use black, white or gray materials and then to have one red texture block. I'm really excited to see the red block stand out from the others, but also for the black, white and gray blocks to have their own sense of individuality.
In my first mini series, I used baking cups, old darkroom prints, old negatives and playing cards. Not only does this series work as a cohesive unit because of it's color palette, but the many layers on each individual block adds to join them together with a more 3D element, instead of being one dimensional. I'm very excited to continue working on this project and see what it leads to for the larger assignment in a few weeks.
