I used red acrylic paint to create this part of my experiment. If you've read my posts before, I'm sure you'll know I really enjoy using red paint. It makes a statement and I cherish that, you can look at a piece and feel a million different emotions by just seeing the colour red. I really liked the texture that I had created previously using water, therefore I wanted to try it out with the red paint. I used the same process of adding water to separate the block colour of red, I then dried it and looked at the texture that had been revealed. Whilst doing the previous experiments I noticed that the heated glue created the same texture that the sheets of plastic do when burnt. Alberto Burri's "Rosso Plastica" was created using plastic sheets and red acrylic paint burnt together in which he tries to create the look of flesh that has been torn, ripped apart by bullet wounds. After finishing this piece I began to look at it in more detail, I feel that this piece relates well to Burri's "Rosso Plastica" piece. I have been trying to re-create the astonishing texture that Burri creates throughout this piece for a long time in my experiments, and now I feel that I have finally achieved it. I have created layers of glue and paint, however I feel that they look similar to plastic sheets being melting upon each other. Overall I am happy with this experiment, the texture that has been created is striking, I feel that the color really brings out and highlights each individual piece of texture. The experiment also relates really well to Burri's work, I have tried to create similar texture created in "Rosso Plastica" but with cling film and paint. I feel that this really works well overall. I feel that just looking at texture through my own eyes doesn't get across the point I wanted to make enough. I can see the tiny bits of texture that have been created but someone looking through my sketchbook may overlook it. Therefore I decided to use a macro lense take a close up picture of the piece of texture that I literally fell in love with. I feel this picture represents everything I wanted to create on this page. This has led me to thinking about using photography in or for my final piece.
