Working off a Canvas

After the previous piece, I wanted to find out the outcome of solely working onto objects. I started by fixing together Red Bull cans using metal wire and PVA. I decided to use the metal wire to my advantage by not only using it for the purpose of fixing together materials, but also creating line within the piece. 

Over the top of the can I applied a stretchy plastic material that was applied with PVA. Whilst the PVA was still wet, I begun to apply blue ink to emphasis the colour, more than it already was with just the Red Bull cans. 

During the process of making this piece, I was inspired by Roger Hirons piece known as Untitled 2014 for its combination of objects that were suspended from the ceiling. I remember from the trip to the IKON having a fascination towards the texture the foam left after drying up. I wanted to create a unique texture on this piece, through the use of the plastic, PVA and ink. 

How I might improve this piece, I could have applied red ink to make a clearer link towards the 3D effect. Red could have also been applied with transparent film which I experimented with in my previous piece. Furthermore, I should have worked on this piece, whilst it was suspended from fishing wire or metal wire from a frame or the ceiling. 

A lack of photography is present within this piece. So I might improve this piece by forming the 3D illusion I have been experimenting with in my sketchbook. I could bend photographs and acetate around the cans.
