Orifice

Further from my idea of putting a gradient of colour on the really high plinth, derived from a fried chicken box, I have thought about other colour schemes that match the basic colours of the sculpture itself. The Tesco logo happens to be the same colours as the sculpture and is a kind of all encompassing emblem for today's society, we can't escape it.
Whilst thinking about ways of deploying the gradient, the idea of spray painting it arose, leading to thoughts of other ways of displaying the colours. I'm thinking about jagged free hand lines in the style of keith harring.
or distorting an image of the logo to create an abstract pattern.
I am also thinking about whether or not to to have a live projection of the orifice sculpture on the plinth or to create a video using all these interesting abstractions of the blue white and red colours. I want to try recording the bubbling spit with a contact microphone and creating a bass driven soundtrack.
