Last year for my final project I wanted to work big. I wanted to use a clear vinyl for canvas and make like a corridor with the seasons represented on both sides, one side abstract and the other realist. I spent a weekend in a wharehouse working on this project.
I used acrylic paint because of its fast drawing action. And for 20 hours I painted. The clear vinyl held a pleasant surprised, when I installed the piece in the room I saw that somehow the backside was showing a different picture, dream like; this was really interesting because as a viewer both side revealed something different.
Each piece was 20 feet long by 52 inches in height, I hanged it from the ceiling with ropes. Right now it is sleeping in my basement, this is way too large for anything other than a show or installation, and I don't know how long this clear vinyl will age.
Still, it was fun to be able to work on large surfaces and to actually be able to install it in a public area for all to see. I especially like the reactions from the viewers.
