Fusing deliverables

Historical example

Concrete used as an opponent against freedom as walls. With my historical example, I want to find a way freedom can break through the massiveness of concrete. I like the idea how such a hard object consists of powder- very powerless, innocent material and water - liquid, taking the form of its surrounding can build up into that state of matter. Through experiment, I want to break it down just enough to give space for freedom to shine through. That I mean literally. I made a candle holder which fuses together concrete and sieve.

I took some pictures of the mold and I was pretty fascinated by the structure that emerged from the concrete so when zooming in I was left with almost a landscape. This picture then I imported in photoshop and started playing around with different settings for it:

I wanted to break some parts of its wall to give the candle places to shine through but I really liked the shape that emerged so I decided to try that idea on another example.

Comparative example

In this example I decided to use concrete and light and experiment with the relationship that can be built between them. I spread a layer of concrete onto a plastic sheet and put a sheet of sieve on it, then I applied some oil paint, then another layer of concrete. After 48 hours after it dried I hammered it in several places. I expected the sieve to hold the concrete together even better. I formed a wall out of the layer and put it under some light which created some interesting light- shine throughs.

Fusing together light and concrete created these pictures that capture the light.

Shared example

Material to the limit

Inspired by Miriam Ribul`s experiments I was experimenting with creating different materials by mixing together starch, vinegar, glycerine and water.

Tapioca starch

After mixing the ingredients on low heat a very strechy, sticky gum like material emerged. I spread this material on a medicine holder and after it dried it took the form of the medicine holder. The material that emerged is soft and can be bent but it still has the shape of the medicine.

Potato starch

The material that emerged with potato starch is sticky when still warm but it gets to a almost like a bendable plastic state when dried. I put some material on an old lino cut that I had and I like how the negative is created after I removed the material.

This material holds potential to build it into 3D shapes that is the next step of how I want to push it further.

Why I make?

squeeze your manifest on one sentence. the sentences presentation can be a new product or it can be a poster - connect to fusing in one way

push it further- - try printing with it? the medium and the word could add a new layer of meaning. Think about the materials basic attributes: stretchable, kinda weird. When it becomes interesting when you stretch for example tiredness or perfection. When you push.

artefact that can't be separated. its a whole. A blurry boundary between analog and digital.

think about how it is going to be presented. the presentation of it is half its worth..
