Plaster, rubber elastic and bubble wrap shows the investigation of three materials through performance based partially controlled experiments.  

Each body of work evolves from an arrangement of one or two materials within their immediate surroundings. They connect with the features of the site and activate the architectural space. 

This process led way of working with materials shows their natural behaviour. The experiments are happening for just a few seconds or are ongoing until the material is exhausted and breaks down. 

The change over time creates different experiences for the viewer. Some will see the action, while others arrive to a mark. A drawing that shows evidence, evidence that keeps the event alive. 

During these explorations a sense of understanding towards the materials arose, which I then translated into Casted air. This static piece of plaster and  flexible silicone captures the tension and relief of bubble wrap and shows its possibilities within material.
