Finished Set

The light in Gregor’s bedroom was screwed in place. The light has been broken and scratched. This immediately  ages the light and helps it corresponded with the rest of the rooms inertia. 

To suggest Gregor claws away at the door is a significant part of the set as these doors separate him from the rest of the family. We used range of tools to scratch away at the finished doors to produce claw marks. The Next layer added was a mixture of coloured paints. This paint was added to imitate mould and the sticky substances which are described in the book.

I think the sofa looks extremely effective and works well with the rest of the ascetics of the room. The colour scheme reflects the effect on the walls created by several members of the group. This continuous theme and colour scheme follows through into the living but in a suital and unnoctible way.

The button polish adds the patterning of mould and adds a glossy sheen to covered sections. These areas will be picked up using light adding another dimension to the walls.

After looking back on the walls I think the mould and decaying wallpaper is too noticeable and doesn’t suggest Gregor’s inner depression metaphorically. I think the walls are too blatant, however this may not be as noticeable once the furniture has been added.

Once we had finally finished all the painting in both rooms we started positioning the finished furniture. These photography’s show the fully furnished and finished set.
