Material Based Portrait
Skiing on Pavement
String
9.5 x 11 in
The main idea for this project was to recreate this photo I took of my sister skiing over a road with a material that connects with her. I first chose pre-wrap because she always puts it in her hair for sporting events then while using that material I realized how much more detail I could get with string which connects to her because she loves making bracelets for her and her friends.
The materials were a piece of paper with double-sided tape and over top of that I used friendship bracelet string.
The processes I used were trying to get detail using a thin stretchy piece of plastic and it was hard to build up the layers. With some more thinking my brain started to imagine the detail and patterns I could get with thing strands of string.
