Composites begins construction on Grand Entry
for
Lone Star Park, Grand Prairie, TX
April 2004
With our design capabilities we created a
visual masterpiece with our process. The Stage is set and what better
way to identify a race track than a picture of the excitement that
awaits inside. Combining the functionality of a sign with the pictorial
application of the event, the design below shows a unique way in
which this process can be applied.
We proudly show
our exclusive design and the creation of what should be a photographic
icon for the park in all future reference materials using our Litho
Crete™ process.
At Intaglio
Composites, our professional staff and artists can make anything
imagined and this project will have a combination of artistry, ingenuity,
and good old world craftsmanship. We'll take you through this process
from start to finish as our staff develops the many facets of this
project.
Starting with the need to develop
a powerful entry design, we took our process and combined it with
the elaborate assurance of the identity the park was interested
in achieving.
The immense size of this panel
is sure to be a monument of proportion and signature of the excitement
that lies ahead
The images on the right depict
a 3-d conceptual drawing of the finished product. A combination
of ground lighting and letter lighting should expose the sculptural
identity of the horses breaking out of the wall. We plan to airbrush
total detail into the horses protruding from the sign creating a
visual explosion from the monotone background image
A large structural easel is
created for the support of the lead horse, the first of three to
be sculpted. Using the final image as the background (printed and
mounted to a background), we will begin construction of a large
armature to support the sculpted horse as it appears in the final
work and interacts with the final background imagery.
As the dimension indicates,
this part of the work alone shows the immensity of this project
and the power that will be conveyed in the final resulting sculpture.
We tested the process on a part
of the main horse top that will not exist in the final. This part
will actually be developed as the 3-d aspect of this work.
The final work measuring over
15' in width will powerfully display our vision.
We invite you to check back
often for up-dates of our work in progress.
Update - November 2005
Funding shortfalls have caused a delay, but we definately plan to
pursue this concept if we can't find funding at this location.
