| Iridescent colour palette for Vertical Gallery commission |
My colour palette has developed through out the project. For my early samples I used electric blue, bright pink and bright orange. I wanted the pieces to stand out and have a futuristic feel so I chose them as they stand out next to each other. I explored these colours through stitch, print and flocking and tubing. However, I didn’t really consider them to a great degree, and wanted to push it further for my later samples.
For my vertical commission I have developed my ideas of colour and through research into light, glass and installation pieces, I want to create a more subtle palette developed from the tones that make up an iridescent effect. I discovered that Perspex can be dyed using disperse, and the effect is subtle compared to the pre-coloured Perspex. I think this subtlety will work well with the light coming in from the window that I have pitched for and hopefully the colour will be projected around the space.

For my jewellery collection, the palette will be bolder and more striking so I am sourcing coloured Perspex and will combine transparent with frosted to create texture and depth. I think a brighter colour palette will compliment the jewel like quality of the Perspex inserts, creating a luxurious, dramatic aesthetic.
