Throughout the module I transformed a piece of previous work. Starying from areas I would normal feel comfortable in , I experimented with more 3D elements and materials resulting in this piece of paper dipped in plaster and presented in a way that looks as if it is drying or even that it is fabric. 
This is one of the first images I was working on for the transformation. Continuous line and drawing figuratively are two of my strong points and I found it hard at first to let go of the figurative elements, repeating the same drawing just changing the materials. Realising I needed to move out of my comfort zone I found myself looking at the patterns of the paint I created in the background of the drawings.
Concentrating on the interesting patterns produced by the paint, I used paper to start to create 3D forms. This reminded me of the Rorschach test used to determine your state of mind, which I researched and based my previous work on. Using the paper created interesting lines and textures. I created deeper creases according to darker tones in the paint.
Throughout the module I did a series of workshops and I really enjoyed the plaster workshop, having worked with plaster before I already knew how to use it but still learned new skills with the material. I thought about how I created the paint patterns out of paper and decided to dip some of the paper into plaster and let it dry. The different textures that resulted in dipping the paper were really interesting and so I dipped a few more, and had the idea of somehow attacthing the pieces together and going back to the figurative element I had at the beginning. Again wanting to stray into areas I hadn't in the past I decided to carry on dipping paper but trying to make it 'perfect' and looking like a piece of paper but it would be extremely delicate.
I experimented with different sized pieces of paper and felt the best and most practical size was A4. The bigger the paper got the more plaster was on and resulted it in ripping as it was so heavy. I really liked how it looked hung up in a washing line, very domesticated and very normal. I considered this as a possibility for presentation later on. I had to work quickly as the plaster was starting to set and dipped as many pieces of paper as I could, but this piece was the most successful.
When the plaster dried I was very pleased with the outcome of this particular piece and experimented in ways i could present it. I discovered it could stand freely but if it got knocked over it would brake but I loved how it looked stood up, as if some invisible force was holding it up where the pegs had previously held it. I then spent some time considering how I could present this piece as I was happiest with this one in particular because of how it dried as it looks almost fabric-like and how delicate it is when paper can be relatively strong.
Strengths-
Being able to transform work, work with 3D, more conceptual
Weaknessess-
Finding a starting point, knowing when work is finished
