The secret garden research- Castle brief

-

When I saw the work of Victor Pasmore, one of my first thoughts were of the 1993 film. The Secret Garden directed by Agnieszka Holland. This was such a magical film from my childhood. In the video below I speak about why I relate this film and the painting.

I want to use the vines I created on my previous page for my main piece. I wanted to create a simpler test piece to see how it will work. This link will take you to the process of my  paper cutting  for the lightbox.
