For my proposal I have decided to produce a sample of what the finished mural would look like should the exhibition be endorsed by the museum and west bank, perhaps with funding. I vectored my characters once more and and took my two different monkey designs to the laser cutter.
The cutter produces a very clean cut with the use of 6mm mdf sheets. The shapes came out clean and crisp. These were then sanded and undercoated with a spray primer. I've also experimented with how I plan to hang the work - I discovered industrial strength velcro that (tested in my bedroom) will hold a monkey with ease. This is how I will hang and arrange the work.
I thought at first to paint the monkeys in very bright colours and I did like the green, however this didn't really match with what I'd planned digitally and I felt the black and white was a good reference to Victorian times when the zoo actually existed.
