The brief of this project was to take an ordinary, everyday object and transform it. With that in mind, I began thinking about the sensations we associate with certain objects and how I could transform my chosen object using those sensations.
My first thought was to transform stiletto heels by showing the pain that they cause the wearer by using both 2-D and 3-D media.
From the clay and toothpick shoe experiment I became interested in pointillism, which lead me to experiment with how I could represent a Coke bottle out of smaller bottle shapes.
This idea then developed into "drawing" a Coke bottle out of bubbles, to show the fizz in the drink and once again going back to the idea of using sensations we associate with objects.
I continued to develop the idea of using bubbles, making various 3-D models, changing techniques, materials and overall aesthetic. In some cases keeping a spherical shape proved difficult due to the materials and adhesives not being compatible. In order to over come this issue, I used a series of slits into which the "petals" of the modules I cut out slid into each other and gradually made spherical forms. These would later become the bubbles from which I would make my final piece
Placing the completed "bottles" into context I believe, contributes to this piece having quite a comic, light hearted feel which complements the playfulness of the "bubbles".
