The second board I have created focuses on Coningsby as a station, the second station for the railway to visit.
This board is a collage made entirely out of book pages, mounted onto cardboard.
The word ‘Coninsby’ is cut out of the cardboard, this is so that when the board is mounted against the window, the light will shine through the word and be visiually appealing. This will draw direct attention to the back wall of the library, which is the main focus of my piece.
The book pages are used as a direct and visiual link to the library, as well as being a material for me to explore and be creative with.
This is my original sketch for the board:
This is how my board has progressed:
As you can see, I have achieved my goal of having the light shine through the book pages to create a visually pleasing piece of art work. I think with the dark brickwork surrounding this board and the bright light from the window, this will look really good.
