This my entry for the Lvl 5 Test exhibition before final show. I have settled on the image of people in baths. I have developed these from the image of 'ecto-plasm'. ( I'm afraid there would be much more to the research on this blog If only I had started it earlier). The bathtub gives the images a domestic feel as well as linking to the concept of a coffin and a receptacle for water, the universal solvent (Alchemically). For It I created small photocopied pencil drawings onto tracing paper and masking taped them in place. I added acrylic ecto-plasm in fleshy tones for a hint of the uncanny. These were lined up above a scientific desk set up of glassware and notes. I played with adding modern elements so as to give a 're-discovered research lab' feel. However I don't feel I experimented enough with this and instead it confused the viewers. I may rid of such a complex set up entirely and replace it with a much simpler object so as not to detract from the drawings ( of which i plan to light up or put on light boxes).
