Felt 3D Representation of the movement of light

So this is the 3D work I was going on about in my last post.
At first I struggled to find the right material that would best represent the light. I tried to knit wool but I felt it was to solid and heavy looking.

About two weeks ago there was a talk about fashion and the materials they use within fashion. The tutors started talking about felting and showed a few images and it suddenly dawned on me that felt really looked like light when it was stretched out. I started making the felt...the process involves separating the fleece (long unwoven woolen fibers) in strands and layering these strands, then douse the fibers in a soap and water mixture and rub and roll the fibers until they are blended into each other. you then rinse the felt and leave to dry.

I wasn't sure what to do with the finished felt but my tutor Mike Fox told me to stretch and rip it and make an installation piece that would take over a space. The following photos are the resulting piece. 

Photography work...Movement and light

Progress with the Movement and Motion Project

So far so good as far as the movement and motion project is concerned. I decided to start my project with slow shutter speed photography as I believe it captures movement beautifully. Photographers such as Francesca Woodman sparked my interest capturing movement with photography

The manipulation of light in my photographs really inspired me to work more intensely with light and the movement of light in photography.

 I took a series of photographs with sparklers and torches and I combined this with the movement of the human subjects in the photographs as well.

The immensity of the colour and energy of the images really took me by surprise.

At the moment I am in the process of making a 3D representation of the images shown on this post.
