I have been experimenting with the idea of representing stress visually and using different materials to illustrate this, and see what effects they give. I scratched, punched, squeezed and ripped the materials, actions that individuals sometimes do when stressed about things, e.g. money. The first four images are sculptures made of silicone. They have a slight shine in the light, are soft to touch and very lightweight. They are also slightly pliable, yet keep their shape. These remind me more of impressions on a stress ball. The other three images are sculptures made from plaster. They are heavier than the silicone shapes, darker in colour and rough to touch. They also keep a lot of detail within them, sometimes showing parts of finger prints. I enjoyed experimenting with both materials, and plan to progress and use these in my project.
