Although I am still in final experimentation stages to perfect the method of making the forms. For my final collection I want to combine a range of my experimentations, both with paper and form, to create a group of forms that have impact. By making them with found, environmentally friendly and recycled materials I am able to reduce my impact on the environment as well as producing sculptures that are biodegradable and not harmful to the environment.
I want to create a collection of large scale spheres with textures ” growing” on their surface. I will do this by forming large abaca paper spheres using large biodegradable balloons ranging in size from about 45 to 60cm wide. Then applying the textures to the surfaces, combining the found materials and coloured papers to create interest. I can visualise these delicate forms within a gallery setting or placed in a site specific location (for me this would ideally be the New Forest, as this is where my materials were collected)
