Copper sheet, copper wire, salt and vinegar
Variable size pieces
Studying the material process by creating a unique environment allows them to affect and reflect on each other. The effect of salt and evaporated vinegar on a copper sheet and copper wire allows for a closely investigate of the material changes.
“The Flux represents the connection, movement and the resulting reciprocal exchanges of energy within a group dynamic—the exchange of energy results from the transformation, reformation and deformation of materials. The tangible transformation of the material is evidence of energy exchange and connection between molecules. The exchange of energy between a substance's molecules creates vibration and waves of energy which is the concept of my project, "Constant Flux." The connection between substances refers to the theory of relativity and relatedness. "everything in the natural world has relationships with every other thing, and the whole set of relationships makes up the natural world as we experience it."”
