- Andrew suggested to talk to Ann about ways of casting in metal or using metal, as I was tired of using silver leaf and plaster as this doesn't quite resemble the effect I'm looking for within my sculpture. I wanted to create something cleaner, flawless with a high shine.
- Ann said that casting objects such as a crisp packet in metal wouldn't work, however we could use sheet metal, roll it and hammer it to resemble the shape of a crisp packet. However I'd need to start off and practise on small scale first so something smaller than a crisp packet, perhaps a sweet. This would connect to the idea of consumption, and connects to Chloe Wise's use of food in her work to represent that.
- Andrew told me to research an artist called Not Vital who is exhibiting work at Yorkshire Sculpture park, who has some stainless steel sculptures.
NOT VITAL
Not Vital has a diverse practise ranging from painting, drawing, print to sculptures. His outdoor stainless steel sculptures are what capture my attention the most. He is currently exhibiting his first major exhibition in the UK, at the Yorkshire Sculpture Park.

The piece above is being exhibited at Yorkshire Sculpture Park. It is a massive Camel Pelvis cast in stainless steel.
- Looking at his work makes me really excited about the possibilities in using metals to cast or mould, and it's such as good progression from craft materials like silver leaf and spray paint. I want to achieve a high shine just like how Vital does.
