Casting.
I wanted to try new techniques and i thought that casting would be the perfect way to experiment. With the casting, I wanted to give the effect that the ivy was physically a part of the wall, thus the urban environment. As I said before, I want to combine textures if possible and I thought this would be an interesting experiment.
(The plaster is still in the process of drying..)

My first attempt at photographing my 3d wire piece. Seeing as urban gardening caught my attention a couple of weeks ago, I decided to make my own ivy. -ManMade Ivy. I liked the contradiction it protrayed.

I am going to make more and experiment with its mobility.

Ivy.

Lovely Lovely Ivy. While on my adventures looking for urban gardens I noticed how ivy makes its own way through the city and in turn becomes part of the city's garden. Someone advised me to stick to one piece of nature so i think i will try to focus on ivy. I quiet like the different layers of ivy. You don't know exactly what is underneath ie. the wall, its anchoring function etc. I want to still want to explore textures and different techniques. Layering might be an interesting thought too. For now i want to get to know the ivy ie. its patterns, shapes etc.
