SOUTH PACIFIC

Staged at Chichester Festival Theatre. Designer: Dick Bird. Painted at RN Scenic Studio.

​

Trompe l'oeil gauze painted with Annie Hargreaves with Bristol silver paint and washes. We then stuck it onto corrugated transparent plastic so it could be backlit to reveal the band on stage.

We needed to match the real corrugated metal, which we painted with Bristol silver paint, washes and meths with a textured roller adding rust with iron powder. The holes I made with Varaform heat moldable mesh covered in an idenden, vermiculite mix then rusted.
