Trying out ideas, Deluge

Next up was the drawing 'a deluge' an expressive drawing of a storm done in Leonardo's later life. We were all drawn to the feeling of movement and emotion in it and wanted to reflect that in our activity.
We came up with the idea of making a sensory space with hanging clouds, projections and sound.

After lots of reworking we decided to create a series of hanging clouds that could be projected on to using an old school Over head projector ( we toyed with the idea of projection mapping but felt it was too complicated for a self led space).
I had fun viewing a selection of very old OHP' s to use and then we started playing ...

We started by making clouds using some recycled light shades left over from an exhibition we curated and designed a few years back and a lot of pillow fillings.




We also played with different materials on the projector to see what gave the most evocative feel to the space.
