When I was working on the shadow cast onto the sink from the red tin, I was really focussed on making sure that the depth of the shadow was properly conveyed. Because I only have the photograph of the sink that was taken years ago, in Australia, I took to my house to find other sources to research.
My home has wonderful light. It is one of the things I adore the most about it. The sun was starting to fall as I was looking for shadows to watch. I looked over and saw the window and curtain casting onto the wall. I learned a lot from considering the tones in the blanket and the many layers involved. With shadows, there is an element of perspective, which is something I find very interesting.
Shadows cast in colour too. The green from this vase on the side of my sink has so much energy. Understanding these small details help me to get a more realistic dimension to my work.
