I made this piece by glueing chip bags, insides out, onto a canvas, and painting over them with black acrylics, to make an etching surface. I started the etching with a few spaced-out amoebas, the bones to begin filling in with fluctuating waves of lines. The overlaid triangle of scales (each with three layers of laminate) are outlined with silver sharpie, and held together with clear twist ties and brads through hole punches. The order and smooth consistency of the scales contrasts with the background of wild movement and bubbly texture of the chip bags. I made this project outside of school and was experimenting with laminate and chip bag materials, and noticed the look of ocean waves and fish scales after finishing.
