Cling Film, Final Experiment

Door of Cling Film

Latex Frame

Cling film

One of the experiments that I have decided to carry out while I am in sculpture is to test the strength and durability of cling film. The idea came originally from wanting to do it with latex. The latex version of this experiment would have been very expensive and a very slow process. So as I only have a number of days cling film became a much better choice/substitute.

I got my hands on a few wooden frames from the workshop at college and I wrapped around 4-5 layers  of cling film around them. I hoped that the cling film would stretch to certain degree whilst being able to support the weight of my body.

Check out the results for yourself in the videos..

In sculpture I began to work with the word stretch. The very first piece of material that had entered my mind was latex. I wanted to create a piece that would involve the use of my entire body but this caused two major problems. Time and money. Latex is expensive and I only had a number of days over the space of two weeks to get the work done.

Instead I turned to cling film. It may not have been the ideal material but it would have to do as a substitute. The experiments I carried out are in this video and in more to follow.
