Nolan may have used traditional acrilic paint on the first layer of the painting to form a solid foundation to work with, before using water concentrated paints to create the 'bleeding effect' that runs throughout the painting. This effect may have been created by somehow running the paint down the canvas board - allowing the paint to drip down the painting. Another technique that may have been used by Nolan is aggressively scoring through multiple layers of paint (possibly with a knife), as can be seen at the bottom right segment of the painting - forming a deconstructive and abstract effect. Nolan also uses linear brush strokes to form extended vectors, spanning across the canvas to make the woman's arms appear as if they were wings.



The precision of Swallow's sculpture suggests that it may have been formed through rapid prototyping - a process which generates a 3D model from a computer file. The model appears as if it had been formed from a ceramic material, as its texture looks as if it has similar features to terracotta. Swallow may have used scoring techniques to achieve the life like detail in the snakes and the bag. The evidence of gaps in the sculpture suggests that it may have been constructed in seperate components and fit together like a puzzle.
