(MATERIALITY) MATTERS
Object Density is passionate about materiality - the tactility, the processes, the properties, and the systems materials create in society. Here we see the potential of experimenting with anodising to transform existing, discarded aluminium by enhancement of the surface features, textures, colours and qualities.
We are intrigued about how we can manipulate the techniques to be more expressive, blurring boundaries with oil and watercolour painting. We envision this to both be able to amplify features of the aluminium and/or form, and reveal aspects of the anodising process itself, creating, even if in unconscious ways, human connection between object and process.
