I began the second half of my project by making this piece. Initially I planned on just getting a pillow with wax dripping off of it, to tie in with my previous piece, like someone sweating this substance in their sleep. instead i took out the stuffing and let the wax obscure and freeze the pillowcases' shape, like it's taking years of this substance dripping on it.
Because I didn't use the stuffing from the pillow I put it in a plastic bag and decided I would use this as my next piece. The inner structure of the material in the bag had an interesting form that I could look at in more detail.
These are photocopies of the stuffing inside the plastic bags. It gives us a great 2D image of the 3D insides of the filled space. The shapes in this inspired me to create a piece with similar texture, shape and dips as we see in this picture,
Using plastic bags which have been inflated an constricted with twine and wire in certain ways I created this piece which has depths and textures similar to the scans. In the centre is a wire mesh with the plastic bags attached to that. The inflated bags are tied closely together. This process gives the image of one large object with many contours and dips rather than many seperate objects.
