experiments

As the corks have took to the ink so well i wanted to try and create a pattern on them and see what other patterns people made to try and put it back together. 

What i did was put all of he cork face down on a seat of glass and get someone to put them together. As you can see they put them all he same way where i alternated them to make to original pattern

And here is the patter underneath

Out of all the materials i have brought in i have also got an old alarm clock which i dismantled.  

What i liked best was the individual clock hands and the bells.

From dismantling the clock i started to try and make sculptures.

From there i then looked at some of the parts from inside the clock and found a part which i thought looked good as a window. so i started taking photos through it.

Then went back to making little sculptures.  And i rather like this one as its small and delicate.

Carrying on from the window photos i thought i could put that piece along with the glass front of the clock to create another window to view something inside the clock. Also i thought it could stand up so i reattached the legs. I added in some glass beads and i liked the effect and thought but it was too dark to see anything that was inside.

I then decided to try corks which again looked alright but was missing something. I just don't know what.

In order to try and get more light into the sculpture i took away the window to open up the space and tried adding more material inside. This one has pins in and the glass beads.
