ABOUT THE SERIES

In the Medium series, I focus on exploring and experimenting with the material that is the primary support for photographic materials – plastic. I choose polystyrene plastic, which I then manipulate and shape using fire. When shaping with fire, unusual and unique shapes are created, reflecting a fascination with the process and play with the material. Each shape in the series is the result of ongoing decisions and interactions with the material. I use the colour red to accentuate the form of the object, which is a kind of enhancement and completion of the creative process. The whole series is thus focused on experimentation with and dialogue with the material, with each object being unique and representing a unique expression. Through the process of creating and manipulating the sculpture, many possibilities are opened up to discover new shapes and forms, reflecting the interaction with the material and inspiring further experimentation.
