London in Plaster

For my final project I created pages made out of plaster with materials incorporated into it. I did two stands holding four plaster pages on each one. All the pages explored different materials and its effects.

One of the stands contained four plaster pages which consisted of the all man-made materials page, the page with all natural materials, then the page with man-made and natural materials mixed all together and lastly the page with man-made and natural materials in the same page but not mixed, the materials are next to each other on the page. I did it this way because I wanted to show how the different materials react on its own and the effects it has when it is mixed together.


The other stand consisted of the following pages: the page with splattered acrylic paint, the page with wires and strings, then the page with the coffee powder and lastly the page with the holes, coffee and plastic. I did this one this way because these pages consists more on the texture and what happens to it in the long term. Some materials chemically reacted with the plaster in time for example the page with the paint, when the paint started to dry it started to peel off from the plaster the wire on the page getting rusty and the paint peeling off naturally.
