Manipulating projections

Looking back on the workshops that I have taken part in, I zoned in on the structure I had made out of shot glasses and el wire. I started to combine my projections with this idea. I really liked the outcome of this, however realised how difficult it would be to build a large structure out of shot glasses. When making the small sample, I used a soldering iron to create holes between each glass, and also to attach them together. However this process was messy, and didn’t give me a clean finish. I thought about using a drill, but the plastic would be too fragile for such force.

I really liked the knitting punch cards that we used in the workshop with Sam Meech, and thought that the early plastic sample I had made using a soldering iron was very similar. Firstly I thought about compressing the feather pattern down into rows of holes, however after sampling this idea, I didn't think it gave me the surface I was looking for. So I bought a large piece of clear acrylic which I plan to punch holes through, and then sit in front of patterned fabric, to create interesting shadows.
