I decided to use yellow spray paint to colour the bottom half of the sculpture. I wanted to experiment with the idea of colour invading, which is something I have been really interested in recently.
I really loved the way the spray would transform whatever it touched to yellow. With paint I wouldn't have been able to create this accidental effect.
The twisting and interwining copper and wires remind me of modern day steel rollercoaster structures.
The way the colour completely takes over a space and all that is in that space reminds of an artist I have previously looked at, Jessica Stockholder. She uses colour upon 3D pieces to perhaps give the impression of a 2D painting or image.
I see this sculpture as a very experimental piece, which I can trial out ideas that I am currently curious of and intirgued to try. I now have a real temptation to burn the sculpture. I am really interested in the idea of destroying art, similarly to arsonists did to 'Luna Park' by Heather and Ivan Morison. It may have been an act of crime, however, you could argue, the piece actually became more interesting.
