checkerboard red

A cast resin and MDF coffee table that used a red colour scheme
The different red hues, ranging from scarlet to orange are arranged randomly

I wanted to create a counterpoint to the Gradation of Green and Bombay Sapphire cast resin works and see if the process could be expanded to include supplier-produced components.

1100mm x 1100mm x 395mm

Clear casting resin, painted mdf, toughened glass, fluorescent tube lighting.

Having outsourced the joinery and painting of the MDF body I hand poured the resin into the 100 moulds across the surface.

 

For this piece I chose to intersperse the colours with light and dark discs sitting next to each other in a checkerboard formation. I then installed the hidden fluorescent strips to light the colours from underneath.

Hidden lighting illuminates the resin from below
The table top has a sense of random uniformity

The distribution of intense colour gives a sense of chaotic uniformity that I find interesting.
