First Start

At first I started to think in concepts. After the individual talks I came to the conclusion that we weren't supposed to think in concepts. Instead we should just DO en TRY different things. This is something I didn't really understand from the beginning. Here some idea's I had.

Concepts

3d Printing (New Skill)

I had never 3D printed before and because we were going to Unfold, I thought it would be smart to 3D print. I made a model of a crown in 3d and then I printed it.

UNFOLD (Shared Example)

First Visit

During our first visit at UNFOLD we tried to see what the options were, Noa and I formed a team and brainstormed about what we could add to the material. A few things we thought about adding to the ceramics:

• Sugar
• Salt
• Wood
• Sand
• Metal
• Powdered Sugar
• Colored Decoration Sand

Second Visit

Unfortunately I wasn't able to be there due to the storm that day and trains that weren't riding. Noa and Colin were able to go and they executed it.

I’ve been working on building a sort of statue out of plastic figures such as toys and glow in the dark stars. I’m mainly using plastic, and also glitter to cover some of the figures. For example, you see toy soldiers and glow in the dark stars. Some toy soldiers are covered in glitter. The objects are quite small.

The thing I found most interesting was the way plastic melts. I’ve melted different plastics and although the end result was interesting, I think that the process itself was more interesting.

I’m now building a statue made out of toy soldiers and plastics covered with glitter. Then I want to document it melting and make it into a video.
