plastic, found objects

This was a 'Platform 8' group project while I was studying at the RCA in London.

'The Bloomberg Building in London has four floors. Each floor has a gallery space that we were to fill. An idea emerged to group apparently random objects based solely on their colour or material. This then developed into the possibility of covering the objects in plastic by using a vacuum forming machine. After vac forming, the objects became less distinct, each one blurring into the other. The objects were removed leaving just the plastic.'
