Transforming metals

Material experiments 

 

​

To me, materials are always central to the design process, and a curiosity about the expression or qualities of a particular material is often the backbone of my projects. I have worked with a series of experiments to explore different expressions of metal. Different methods and combinations of catalysts led to new expressions and interesting surfaces.

​

How fixed are the relation between material and shape? With a curiosity on the materials features and the possibilities within it, this experiment challenge how we understand the shape and aesthetics of metal. Using a strong magnet, a mixture of metal granulate and PU glue is transformed into unique sculptures with an non-controlled expression. A material we would characterize as solid and heavy gets a completely different expression.
