Unit X // Materiality Workshop


Samples

The workshop was a spread of potential materials and samples to help inspire. It consisted of materials such as outdoor fabrics, heavy duty bubble wrap, rivets and underlay. Alongside were samples of previous students work with the use of combined materials and processes. I used Richard Serra's verb list to help transform the materials, making small scale experimentation's to see what boundaries I could push. It was a little overwhelming with the mass of materials in front of me, however the relaxed environment let off pressure to create valuable work- it was more about the testing of materials and sparking new ideas.

Combined drawing and underlay
 I took interest in the floor underlay as it was easy to cut and contort. In the above image I combined it with a previous drawing, transforming the lines from 2D to 3D. It has produced thoughts about continuing with elements from my previous 'Warp' project, in terms of drawings and processes.
