Creating work first without a wall and then against a white wall in the studio when the elements will be installed against a dark green wall for exhibition pushes the need to visualize which parts will blend into the wall, becoming less visible, perhaps barely visible, and which will pop out and call attention to themselves as almost independent shapes. Dropping a green background in digitally for studies is useful, though deceptive as edges end up highlighted even on parts that are likely to blend into the real green wall, making the whole shape pop. I should shift around a Color-Aid.
