As part of an installation, I would like to make this undulating waxy sheet at a larger scale to act as a decoy to hide screens/smaller works around. I have been testing what materials I could make it out of as this was a piece of plastic found on the beach (probably from a plant pot).
This is milk bottle plastic, High Density Polyethylene (HDPE), which melts at a low temperature and can be formed into new shapes using an iron or heatpress.
This is a wax sheet heated and pressed against the wall of my studio (onto large bricks that leave the residue of paint and mould)
I would also like to try using glass or ceramics once I can access the workshops.
