aluminium sheets
hold consists of two aluminium sheet pieces, where soft indentations are created over time on the surface of the material. Softness through materiality has been established by practicing slow, gentle and soft marks/dents onto the surface of the material. The work introduces new aluminium sheets that hold new and personal interactions onto the material. The already soft nature of the aluminium sheet lends itself to further consideration in the method of making, where marks and dents were made by pushing hard and soft objects/body parts into the metal sheet. This work suggests the build of subtle moments creating impact, as well as both literal and metaphoric demonstrations of soft surfaces handling various weights. The subtle methods of marking the material reference the soft treatment of self, embodying acts of softness where previous works speak to rough processes of making.
