This is the latest piece i've been working on. Encased the metal tubing in the gelatine, pouring vinegar into the central reservoir and finally adding iron rust filings. Thinking about containing potentials in spaces; degradation revealing a delicacy and highlighting a vulnerability within such a strong, crude substance like the metal.
Analysis is allowed when the pace or process of something is slowed or captured at a particular moment. Where do we see this in life? What might people use this 'relationship' for? Preserving a moment... preserve... jam. Jam is a domestic example where nature's engagement ceases to have control and man takes on a leading role by encapsulating the fruit in gelatine. In doing so, we can observe a delay or ultimate break down of something.
Started exploring the logistics of this material as something to work with in my theme of degradation and the concept of natural environment meeting the man made.
