METALLIC REFELCTIONS – LEA DEBRABANDERE

METALLIC REFLECTIONS

First, I worked with metal sheet : I heat and pound them with different tools. But what for ? During a walk in streets, I found gutters pipes. I did experiments with it, heating and puntching to create patterns and colors. I found interesting to work with a used object, especially with an object which is not made for this, hijack it. I puntching with different tools (hammer, punchs, plastic pipes…) to create patterns and distortions on the initials pipes. I used this technique to put together all the pipes and build an object without other assembly methods. Morever, I used only gutters fixings to hang the object on the wall. So I work with metal gutters to create two luminous sculptural objects, by playing and using the light source to bring out uncontrolled patterns on them.
