Crushed

I continue to explore materials and found objects. In ‘Crushed’, I placed the crushed aluminium cans into a mould I made and then simply poured concrete over them and let it set. I chose concrete instead of cement, as the aggregate is much coarser and leads to much more unpredictable results. The concrete does not get into every nook and cranny and as a result there are irregular holes in the piece whereby you get a glimpse of the aluminium cans. The materiality of the concrete is evident.
