Material Studies

The following images are of material explorations stemmed from "Ripping, Scoring, Cutting", aimed at further expanding the same mark making process but with media that will pull the content into different directions.

​

Each material was heavily pressed into to create a rounded fingertip sized form.

Results vary based on the qualities of the material. In conjunction with the repetitive semi-circular shape, light and shadow play a large role in determining whether or not the material will be carried over to future works. 

​

The most successful studies in this section include the kitchen roll study with video accompaniment, showing that the material of choice does not even have to be the focal point to create the textures and shadows I desire.  I will be moving forward with the video platform and including soundscapes in term 2. Additionally, the mili-put compound creates a texture that is very thick, yet soft, and rigid all at once. I feel that this could be a promising material for smaller scale works and in conjunction with video expressions as well.
