To follow up on our proposal of working together on a collaborative piece, V. Patel and I have decided to put action into place and painted together on Saturday afternoon for five hours. In this time we managed to paint one plate each.
What was probably the most tedious task of this project was to think of a continuous design that would still be reminiscent of the henna designs. Patel said that "this just comes naturally after a while," as it is fairly obvious that my plates (left) could do with a lot of practice. This aspect of the project is far more challenging than my rice-shoe project, however, it can be done in less time.
Our group goal is that I will paint three plates whilst she will paint three bowls throughout this entire week. This will hopefully bring us closer towards the dinner table piece we envisioned together. Whether or not we will either destroy the plates or host a dinner party is still under discussion. For now we are just planning to present them on a dinner table for our 4-week project exhibition.
