Backdrop Skeleton and More Materials

Here’s a little progress, a rough sketch of this backdrop. I still have a lot to do including structural details, so a lot of this is still very fragmented and detached at the moment. Please disregard the 2 “X” forms on either side (they’re only in the image as support for a few elements—something I’ll eliminate in the weeks to come). Some forms may flip inside out, some colors may change, more will be added and taken away.

The scale of this layout is about 11’ – 12’ wide, 8’ deep, 6’ tall, although I plan to add more vertically, depending on the height of the gallery walls. The backdrop’s specific size is really flexible, as I mentioned earlier I’d like to work with the space you have available—the repetitions I’m working with should accommodate that by adding or subtracting…



This green stuff will form a sheet of green (either scalloped or strung in parallel)--it's currently attached to a wall, but I'm aiming to string in the midst of the installation--still working that out...

Shifts in scale:These geometric elements (diamonds, pyramids...) will be covered, some shingled, some reflective...
Some chains:

And materials:
