Material Exploration (Transparency)


For this piece I took clorox toilet gel and poured this transparent liquid over a sheet of clear bubble wrap, than I took a close up picture and got that shiny marble effect.
 
 This is a Process Image of the work .

 For this next piece on the left The one on the top is the Final product. For this piece I took a picture of a drink threw another transparent drink. The image on the bottom is a process shot.  But I used  the transparent elements to distort my image.

For this work, I was still expermenting with transparent liquids , and put transparent orange soap in this transparent box, and shook it up to see how the bubbles would form and what it would look like.

 For this work I had decided to play around with clear soap , water and sequins.  What I did for this piece was to pour soap down than sprinkle a few sequins over the thick water than cover it with water, creating the illusion of floating sequins. This work is also using transparent liquids. The image to the left is a larger scale shot.

 For this piece, I actualy used the transparent elements of the bottle to help show the wax that was poured over top of the bottle. This created a crazy line shape with the wax, which is visible through the bottle. Below I have posted a few more images of this piece.



 For this transparent work, I decided to work with the different elements of liquids, so I took two transparent liquid soaps, one a clear thick handsoap, and the other a concentraited blue laundry soap. As I poured the two together I thought It was going to layer, and I would layer the colors, but after I poured the laundry detergent into the hand soap, it started to Sink and float in the center of the  other soap. To the Left and below are a few more shots of this work.



 


 For this Work I decided to work with more transparent soaps, and I started to layer them, until I decided to experiment and see that would happen if you dripped hot wax into cool soap, would it cool down really fast and build up, would it sink and cool at the same time, I was not sure until i did it and this was the result. Below I have a few more images of this piece.




 Lastly for this work I placed sequins in this clear sphere, and added water and soap to see these sequins float. I did a similar piece like this but this is different because it hangs, and can be seen through the light.
