I came to the conclusion within my last experiment that to further develop on this idea, I should try suspending the work from a frame. This idea was inspired by Roger Hirons Untitled 2014 piece. I began this piece by cutting and crushing both Coke Cola, Red Bull and Pepsi cans for there use of the colours red and blue.
I then pierced the cans using a hammer and nail. The thickness of the metal couldn't be pierced using a sowing needle, however this method worked well. After the hole was created metal wire was pushed through. So that it could then be rapped around the top part of the frame to hold the cans in the air. After completing this piece, suspending it first before creating the combine, made producing the piece twice as hard. The cans were only held up from the top, so continuously moved when applying new materials and media to it. In addition, I had to find a method of holding the frame upwards. I've learnt from this experiment to create the piece before suspending it. 
Within this piece, I wanted to focus on creating texture and experimenting with the majority of materials and mediums I had already worked with. This piece was meant to represent everyday objects, such as plastic bottle and cans from a different perspective through them being combined and altered.
