Life in a Box (update)

These have been ready for a while now, I finally made the time to blog about them.

picking up from my last update on this project Life in a box

Life in a Box no:2, 49×76 cmAcrylic on corrugated cardboard

In line with the over riding idea behind this project I used corrugated cardboard from old cartons.

The first one I found was weak on its own, the second can stand on its own but they are both stronger together. I hope I can produce a few more works from this project, but will have to wait and see due to a number of factors.

Here is a quick overview of how the project has progressed

This shows the progress from when I jumped into a box in front of my camera, the early sketches, further experimented on news paper then painted on corrugated cardboard.
