The scenic design for Sarah Ruhl's Melancholy Play was based heavily on surrealist painter, Rene Magritte. We utilized floating windows to both define and deconstruct the space. Using various, although connected, shades of browns and taupe we created a cohesive look to the entire space.

The back wall was a multi step scumble with a top dry rag coat of Supersat over a neutral base. The floor was a drop and spatter with outlines of canvases done in quick passes.

This was a jungle themed school dance that we used gobos to create a tree line across the stage.

The following Steps were used to create this piece of "art". First had to build a 4' x 4' frame, then cover with muslin and seize. After seizing had dried I quartered the piece with a filigree designed that I transferred using coal dust and a perforated pattern of said pattern. Then using the Rosco Supersat. paints listed I painted and textured each quarter with contrasting colors. I used wet blending, scumbling, sponging and spray painting with contrasting colors to give the quarters different textures.

The drop was created through large strokes on white and blue blending together to create this vortex or motion. sprayers were used to blend the drop into the platforms and the stairs. The Stairs focused more on blue and brown bringing contrast and texture to the set.

The walls of the set were scumbled and distressed. The fireplace was carved out of foam and then painted.

As the scenic artist for Shrek my favorite project was the castle walls. A base purple color mixed with Off Broadway Magenta and Sky Blue and a shadow of Ultramarine Blue. Yellow and Orange complimented the walls and the white base coat acted as the highlight when I sponged off the washes with a natural sea sponge. The same technique was featured on the rest of the stone in the show as well.
