plaster. I hated plaster infact I actually dissed people who worked with plaster. oops. now I love to work with it, the reason why was because I through that plaster is a slightly strong material and the fact that I wanted to use it with a flowing, unstructed thing (material)



i didn't want to start another page as this one was pointless but I'm just about to finish my work and then i thought of another idea. infect a messy idea which really didn't have any outcome in my head at the time. what have i do. well i used old bed sheet and hung it up. then smeated plaster on it.


after that the exhibition was going up so we had to clear up. which meant moving my work.

jon said just to rest it on the floor. but then after thinking it would be a hanging piece i then discoved i liked it on the floor. but it didn't keep its structure. which made me think it would never work.

jon said if you really like this piece on the floor try and hange it up add more layers of plaster to make it stronger and then trey again.

i tried again and it didn't work again due to the layer of plater underneath not bonding with the new layers. i really wanted this to work so i poured plaster on it, on the floor and propped it. this worked and it still in process and i hope it stays up for the exhibition. as i piece of fabric which i just played around with at the end turned out to be my favourite.

now it is on a black piece of card in the middle of 3d and the subbord of the strength on the sides of the plaster fabric is just keeping it up.
jon said you have to leave it to balance and weight out so it cn vide its level on its own.
ive never left a piece of art work to create and form on its own which even though it may not work the intention behind the artwork creaing and forming its self everyday has inspired my workings for next year.

finally this work has not been finished in my head to i want to make this work next year and find if it will create the same thing or it will hold together.

jon finally said that you ddnt intent to make it stand on its own to be hung therefore if you was to did it and improve it you would intend in the first place to be on the floor therefore it will already be made for that.
and that's what I'm going to do.

idea for next time

leave base of fabric on the flor
hang each corner of the fabric slightly off the floor to keep the shape i want but also for structure.
make sure plaster bonds which olready dried plaster.
create it place i want it to be (so it wont need to be moved)
