Experimenting With New Materials
This week, I have been asked to pick 'multiples of the same object' from a pound shop. I decided to pick cocktail sticks. We were told to experiment in different ways using our object, the only thing we were allowed to use was thread to hold the chosen materials in place. I found this task really hard and struggled with I quite a lot. Having such limited materials was very hard. After playing around for a while and looking at old work from this project, I started tying the cocktail sticks together into a rope shape. After finishing the piece, a tutor suggest placing it in the light to see what shadows came off the shape. I was amazed by how different the shape looked in the sunlight and how the shadows created such a different piece all together.
