Artist Research

G R A H A M    C A L D W E L L 

Following my photographs of petrol, I discovered that I really liked the idea of using iridescent colours. I did some more artist research on iridescent and I found Graham Caldwell's work. Caldwell doesn't work with light like Bradley Basso, but he works with mirrors and glass instead. I found the outcomes of his work more inspirational than the content of it as it doesn't really relate to my brief at all. 

After pondering the thought of an iridescent colour palette, I decided to go in search of things which related to my project. I managed to find some foil and sampled some foiling onto fabrics using iridescent foil, and iron and some bondaweb.  I liked the outcome of these testers and so I think this will enable me to make decisions about what colours and yarns to use further on in the project.
