First day of palimpsest, Once I finaly start playing around with materials in class I really loved the idea of light being my media, using layers, light and shadow I wanted to create depth without a brush.

From this I generated the idea of shadow and light using cutting, revealing and subtraction.

Overall I liked the idea of adding depth to 2D paper objects, The map has slight creases to add shadow (inspired by Riyo Nemeth)

The only recomended artist I was inspired by (I feel the other artists that were recomended wernt going in the direction I wanted to go; She adds depth with gradient, giving that light and shadow effect, which gave me the idea of how I can manipulate light and shadow myself.

During my reaserch I came across this artist who uses concentrated light to show the shadow effect, almost revealing his art. I love this idea, i want to base my whole project of reveal through light.

I want to get into layering paper, revealing a picture with light, I didnt have the time to create this idea, Its one of my top priorities for nextweek.
