I knew I wanted to work with the concept of materials and the relationship between the process and the work, I then started looking into where this concept would lead and looked at fetishism although interesting didn’t yield any ideas, but one thing did strike me about the concept it was something my tutor said about the whole idea “wood is only wood until you install an idea on it”. that stuck with me because it is the same with human beings a person is just a person until you impose an idea on to them.
this research lead me on to the conservation of mass “The law implies that mass can neither be created nor destroyed, although it may be rearranged in space, or the entities associated with it may be changed in form”
this then spurred me into looking at the circle of life of everything including the materials of my work, I wanted to continue working with elements found within the human body and sugar caught my attention because of its scientific properties the way it is clear when melted and the way it can be endlessly melted and retransformed into new projects.
