Initial project

During the Winter Open at Wimbledon Art Studios I asked people to interact with this painting (180x100cm Oil on board), the images on the right show the day by day change. I took individual photos of each set of initials which I hope to animate in the near future.

These rules were along side the painting:

 

Please contribute to this painting by using the chalk provided to write the initials of either:

  • A first love 
  • A true love
  • A secret love
  • One that got away

 

Place the letters anywhere on the painting, later I will carve them into the piece. Please make the letters small and don’t include your own initials

This is a painting of a hoarding at the Shard building site which is covered by a photo mock-up of the city with the completed Shard.

Some of the hoardings have had initials scratched in, I want to replicate and multiply this effect to explore ideas of passing population, growth, union, what is temporary and what is permanent?
