‘hold’
aluminium sheet
900W x 900D mm
The proposed work will consist of an aluminium sheet where soft indentations will be created overtime on the surface of the material. Softness through materiality will be established by practicing slow, gentle and soft marks and dents on the surface of the material. This work will introduce a new aluminium sheet, referencing personal experiences and interactions in real time, reflected onto the material. The already soft nature of the aluminium sheet will lend itself to further consideration in the method of making, where marks and dents will be made by pushing sentimental objects, body parts and natural materials, such as sand, into the metal sheet. This work suggests the build of subtle moments creating impact as well as both literal and metaphoric demonstrations of soft surfaces handling various weights. The subtle methods of marking the material will also act as a reference to the soft treatment of self, embodying acts of softness where previous works speak to rough processes of making.
