The Alchemist is a special material test project. I use the fluffy residuum from the tumble dryer mixed with the glass cement to create a mew material. The fluffy residuum increased toughness and plasticity of the glass cement which makes it into an interesting new material. Also, I try to mix different colours pigments with it to create coloured materials.
I use the new material I created to combine with wax and cork to create a series of brooches. Meanwhile, the wax in the middle of the piece can let the light go though to give a special lighting effect.
'炼金术士'是一个以特殊材料测试为目的的课题。我以玻璃胶为主体创造新的材料用于首饰制作。我将玻璃胶结合了滚动烘干机里的絮状物残渣,絮状物增强了玻璃胶的韧性与可塑性,使其成为了一种有趣的新材料。我还尝试在其中混杂各色的颜料来测试它的颜色。
我用我创造的新材料结合蜡与软木制作了一系列胸针。胸针中间蜡的透光性使这系列作品在不同的光下呈现不同的颜色深浅与光效。
