Most plastics are made out of oil derived liquid. They don’t have any original shape, like wood. We see them in artificial shape, as plates, rods, pipes or shapes which are sourced from molds.
What is the natural shape of plastic? In my experiments, I found a technique whereby resin reacts when placed in water creating a foam.
This resin is a sort of oil, which is heavier than water. And there is soft boundary between resin and water. In the beginning, it sinks to the bottom. When the reaction starts, bubbles start to build pillars, and then create top surface above the water. The water had visualized a lime stone, cave like appearance.
past works
Drape(2008)
In the process of plywood, extra space between molds often makes drape. We don’t regard it as a success. However, from a different point of view, the drape can create a unique appearance every time. Also it’s 3D structure makes durable the wood grain.
Cow Goggle(2007)
Can you imagine the sight of animals? For instance, the cow, which we are familiar with in the Netherlands. They could see both sides at the same time as they have eyes on the side of their face. (This is what might make them slow).
You can experience the sight of cow with these goggles. When using it in the city you can do window-shopping on both sides of the street.
