Artist research
However, instead of sticking to the sketched plan we decided to get hands on and start experimenting with the materials we have
Untied the dog toy to get thread
First Prototype
Second Prototype:
Got a bunch of more leashes and started cutting off the parts we didn't need
Third Prototype
We liked the idea of having a suspended cage in the middle so we worked on figuring out different ways to arrange the chains
We would be stuck at times and we give ourselves time out where we walk around and have a break. I tend to go to the library for artist research or look up existing sculptures that incorporate cages.
Spray Painting:
Problem:
We decided to spray the chains individually by laying them down individually on a table
However, the paint ended up sticking to the surface of the table and so the layer became scabby

Solution:
Giving the chains a couple of minutes to dry and then removing them vertically
Removed the chains and spray painted them separately so it's easier to coat them evenly.
