Soap Experiment.

10th April 2012

As i have been looking at bubbles, clouds and gases i have begun to try and make these 3 things however i want to create the shapes and feeling of them. With the bubble i want to make it solid so it is unable to burst and the same with the clouds. I am starting to realise that i am most interested in its shape and form more than its meaning. I want to experiment with all kinds of different materials to see what works best. I currently live with a boy doing science and i have asked him for so ideas and what can help my work. With the work i did today with the soap this was purely just an experiment, i like what happened and the shapes it made, however i want to scale to be a lot bigger and that is where science will help my work. I came up with this idea by searching on the internet and YouTube for inspiration and came across the idea of microwaving a bar of soap and i have tried it with two different kinds of soaps and also cut it and shaved it to see the different results. I now need to experiment with colour more. I did try the same kind of coloured soap one new one and one used one and the two colours are completely different which is very interesting. I also want to develop the scale and if i am unable to make the soap bigger i may look into just playing around with the collection of soaps i have and putting them together.
