Artworks
Fish-ion (Fishion)
21 x 24 x 7 cm
low density polyethylene(LDPE) (hama beads)
2016
I inspired geometrical forms .My art work ' Fish-ion' is a colorfull and geometric fish. My material LDPE (hama bead) is a kind of plastic. Generally it used for 2D designs. I situated hama beads a flat layer then ironed them. I used a small model for my work and also ironed the hama beads on it. So the plastic beads convert into a cloth by high temperature.
