I want to show you what I did to make an installation piece titled "Always." First, I made the image, transferred it to a large piece of cardboard and made a stencil. I placed the stencil on the floor in an "inconvenient" spot where people would eventually have to walk over it.
Next, I sprinkled salt as evenly as possible over the stencil. Using salt out of the container was very similar to spray paint.
I think I used 6 containers of salt to fill in this stencil.
After it was filled in with salt, clear or iridescent glitter was sprinkled over it. This gives the otherwise flat, white color some eye catching quality. I almost used silver glitter, but it looked "dirty," like pepper mixed in with the salt. After the glitter, I used iridescent, heart shaped confetti. Salt on the cardboard was then brushed into the stencil and the cardboard was lifted away.
The purpose of the piece was to have people walk through it, completing it over time.
This is how it looked after the opening reception. I'm going to document it over the span of the show and make updates. Really not looking forward to cleaning it up at the end of the month.
