Material Experiments

Self Directed FMP, Foundation We are surrounded by materials which we associate with notions of value: high-value / low-value. This work aimed to challenge the social and behavioural perceptions of everyday, low-value materials in our environment. To re-evaluate attitudes and responses to substances and the 'readily disposed materials' in our culture is a large task yet this experimental range of artefacts helps to start the conversation by regarding the communication of the ‘beauty’ in low-value materials that have been neglected for too long. 6 low-value materials were focused on within the tile-like pieces including, plastic, sugar, chewing gum and soap.
