David Bactchelor
(Self Directed)
Bactchelors main focus
is colour and what the urban environment can bring, he wants to see how people
respond to colour especially in technology. He used fluorescent plastic objects
that are easily accessible throughout the world and he adds everyday objects
and light materials to make installations that are beautifully mesmerising.
For my self direct project I had some ideas but after taking some photographs I have chosen the
theme of light. I looked at Bactchelor as he uses a variety of coloured LED
lights displayed in many ways. What I found interesting was the colour as it draws you into his work but there
are multiple other things to look at not just the coloured lights, such as the stand and wires. I have learnt that
the set up is important, that it doesn’t need to be overwhelmed with colour and
that the accessories and connections (wires) can be included as I find it gives
the piece an understanding.
