First session of making my mock final piece

In my first session, I planned to cut the Tyvek to size and assemble it around the hoops by creating a channel for them to be fed through to create a sleeker finish. However, after the Tyvek delivery being late by days, I was not able to do this and so I had to start another part of m final piece- the watered-down acrylic paint onto acetate. I will be able to do the rest of the installation when the Tyvek gets delivered and I will continue to work in my sketchbook in the mean time. Working onto the acetate meant that I could make a start on my final piece but will have to put the rest of it on hold whilst the Tyvek is being delivered.

So, I mixed blue, purple and orange paint into pots which contained a small amount of water in them. I poured each colour onto the sheet of A4 acetate in small doses. I then brought these three colours together on the sheet by using string to manipulate them. This allowed them to mix slightly on the acetate whilst still remaining their original colour too in most areas. I wasn't aiming to reach a realistic outcome, I was aiming to create a sense of movement in my work and so I dragged the paint with the string making circular motions. By creating a sense of movement, I am reflecting how escapism can take place in the form of activities such as exercise or expression through art. Additionally, in places where the paint is in small quantities, I have made finer marks which reflect a subtle movement within the façade which reveals how the tiniest of events can alter he individuals' ability to maintain the upkeep of the façade. Furthermore, I have varied the densities of paint throughout the composition which represents how an individual chooses how much information they reveal about themselves due to some parts being translucent and some opaque. It also emphasises how there are sections of emotion that are completely hidden, whereas some emotion the individual doesn't mind unmasking. The bright colour palette that I have used shows how an individual wishes for them to be perceived by others, as vibrant and content. The translucency of the paint on the acetate promotes how this outside persona is extremely fragile and is ever-changing due to the fluid nature of the composition. I have extended this concept of altering the composition's density by layering them when they are dry to create an almost smoky effect which reminds me of the term 'smoke and mirrors' which reflects how a depressed individual is upholding a façade and that their persona is all tricks which outsiders believe.
I am going to suspend three of these layered compositions from the ceiling in front of the textural part of my final piece. These will be arranged, as if from a bird's eye view, in a triangle shape so that there is a balance in my final piece which also reflects how a façade is maintained. These are going to be suspended with see-through string and so they will be easy to move which will accentuate the idea of fragility. It will especially move when people walk through it and when there is a draft of air so it will almost be constantly swinging in the air which adds to the idea of a façade being unstable and easily affected by events that are happening around.
