| Joining found thick industrial rubber with cable ties |

| Piping sample using cable ties, pvc tubing and clear pvc sheet |
This week, along side the live project, I have been playing around with the materials I have been collecting over the summer. For this project I want to explore traditional embroidery techniques using synthetic materials such as rubber, pvc, silicone etc. The top image shows a sample made of found rubber cord possibly used as a door seal. I have joined it together using cable ties, exploring the movement of the material. It is uniform and predictable, probably due to the weight and strength of the rubber.
The second image is a sample exploring piping using cable ties, pvc tubing and clear pvc sheet. The piece expands and contacts almost like a concertina or pram hood. This movement is really exciting and something i would like to explore further.
