Robert Jason's fascinating plastic bag installations range from delicate to heavy and resemble giant pink Jelly fish. Using light, heat and air, Jason and his friends recycle the plastic bags into moving sculptures. Jason explores the ideas of colour concepts, geometry, light and presentation to effectively transform his pieces from simple groupings of plastic bags into powerful floating sculptures. Jason has achieved the difficult task of transforming something that we might throw away into something delicate and beautiful.
I recreated the work of the artist Robert Jason. I collected different coloured bags and filled them with air. I found this part quite difficult as not all of them completely filled with air. All the bags were tied together using string; I wanted to create a compact creation by tying them all together.
I feel as though this was one of my weakest creations as it wasn't an exciting process. By improving this I could have included a light inside the bags or behind them, similar to how Robert Jason placed the light behind his plastic bag sculpture. This would have given the plastic bags a fascinating look.
Here I have experimented with a clear plastic bag and my pencil case. I placed the bag on top of the pencil case to create an unusual and mysterious effect. My intention was also to create an abstract creation by scrunching the plastic bag so that the viewer van interpret the images in many different ways. The colours in the second image seems like paint flowing across the page, which I find fascinating. The first image seems like a misty evening because of the blurred sections on the right side of the picture. Parts of the bag has triangle shapes which gives the impression of mountains.
Further in my experimentation I will experiment with ice and paint, and freezing objects in ice.
