Buff Clay( Copper Oxide)
2014
These bus tickets have been fired in the kiln with
a Copper Oxide on it, and have come out with a nice burned effect to show
oldness and damage. In this photo I have placed them in order of days from
Monday to Friday, showing how they gradually get worn away. What I like about
these is how I have made them look old and warn away starting from Monday to
Friday. These are based on my Homage project on my journey to college on the X2
bus.
White Clay( Manganese Oxide)
2014
Using
White clay this time I focused on just the words that appear on the bus, and
what comes into my head. I then just pushed words on the clay using letter
stamps, and adding prices to show my anger towards bus tickets and buses. This
time I used a different sort of Oxide, which was Manganese Oxide. This time,
because I placed it on white clay the oxide has turned a dark grey, which is
effective and contrasts between the other set I have done. During my Making I
broke one of my clay tickets, which has turned out quite nicely, because my
project is based on my bus tickets which is based on them gradually getting
ruined each day.
