I wanted to try using water as it was the most affected according to me research by plastic bag pollution. I used solid and tin foil as the materials I choose to freeze investigating how they both will behave when they undergo this process. Here I documented the process: Next I took out the frozen […]

I looked at all the plastics bags that where planning up in my house from ordering clothes online during the lockdown, them sitting there and waiting for me to find them a second life. I wanted to use as found materials within my project and explore their artist qualities. This started with me looking at […]

I used the marked leaves to give them another use, I thought that going of these marks I could try adding […]

Here I use left over tin foil scraps and turned them into these small sized balls that I then used to explore movement in water, movement on paper. I used these to play about with using a natural material like water with a material that after one use would have needed up in the trash.

Here I used stuff that can hold something, like tights and plastics bags that specifically only come from ordering clothes online. These materials are either really thin, or have holes in them making them useless to wear or reuse in the way they were intended for or other. I found the appeal in how flat and discarded […]
