Artist Statement

The idea I had behind my table top project was to experiment with color. My main idea was to show how colors combine with each other to create a new color. After I had gone through my demonstration and watched it on tape I realized there was more to my project than I had originally seen. I noticed how the dye hit the water and how it would gradually mix and spread throughout the entire glass. This became another element that I wanted to focus on. I also noted how the movements and placement of the glasses would be crucial in order for the viewer to see the elements I wanted them to. I wanted to have a defined process of how I would go through the demonstration since any movement that I had to place in the video that didn't need to be there would just detract from the effect I wanted to convey of mixing colors. The main idea I want to convey to the viewer is the process and the steps that were taken in order to mix the colors and eventually end up with a clash of color in the end.
