Project Three: Transformation

My forks, spoons, and knives project was inspired by my childhood. Camping was always my favorite activity, and growing up by the campfire and being experimenting little pyromaniacs reminded me of the flexibility of plastic silverware. I loved to watch the shapes and transformation process that the plastic would go through as it reacted to the heat of the fire. When I started this project, I didn't expect for it to turn out quite as well as it did. I let the shapes form without molding the warm and melting plastic. This made the flower shapes turn out more organically and less manipulated. If I were to make changes to this project, I would have made more of the flowers and combined them into a shrub-like structure with lights in the middle. I still plan to do this when I get a few extra moments of free time. This was by far my favorite project.
