I experimented with a layer of different plastics to respond to Burri's work using cellophane, plastic bags and bubble wrap. I encorporated a use of materials such as tissue paper, latex and layered masking tape with a use of colour to represent a decaying tone. I wanted to express the melting in Burri's work using an embossing tool to melt the plastics, this deteriorates the plastic, making holes and etchings to create rugged edges linking back to my primary photographs.
I like these pieces, they have a crumbling look and could be improved by increasing the size of the samples, you could also add some hand embroidery to add depth and a rough consistency
