Vinyl For Light Box

After asking around the most recommended vinyl store in Leeds seemed to be Sidney Beaumont, a massive warehouse with an array of choices and an interesting spaceship wall-piece displaying the words "The vinyl frontier". The guy that worked there was really helpful and it was pretty cheap, I picked up a catalogue of translucent vinyl so you can see the sort of colour range they had..

The actual creation of the piece posed a similar task in terms of me having to engage with number problems when putting the visuals together, I attempted some mock-ups using the colours of vinyl I thought I would use. Even successfully doing this forced me to consider the specific sizes and angles needed, rather than just doing it by hand/mouse/trackpad and hoping for the best.

The problem is these just seemed to rigid, almost too sign-like, this would always be a risk when creating something dealing with precise measurements or dealing with simple mathematics. I think the choice to work with s semi-regular pattern worked quite well visually, reflected the idea self-repetition and simple mathematics, perhaps not incredibly obviously to someone who has no idea what my work is about. So hopefully I can have my book finished by the exhibition so that people can see/connect the too and understand the concept of my work. Here is some evidence of me making it and stuff...
