  • Push the same materials further
  • Relate the concept of corrosion to ideas in the brief -through ‘B’ approach of Speculative Design
  • What other objects can be subjected to wear? (Portobello Road market – antiques, metal objects – symbols and meanings)

Metal Processes to look at:

  • Electroforming
  • Acid etching – precision and photo etching

  • Rusting – mild steel, aluminium?

Practitioners to look at:

  • Hans Stofer
  • Micheal Rowe
  • Ariane Prin (rust in ceramics)
  • Dr. Neri Oxman (bioengineering)
  • Roger Hiorns (Harper Road council estate – Seizure project)

Galleries to look at:

Alkesh shared my excitement about the salt crystals and encouraged me to explore this further. He also suggested continuing my material experiments and come to a conceptual idea for the project as and when.
