Cognate/Corrupt: Supporting Text

            For my project I explored what correlations could be found between physical ruins and memory degradation. I also explored how organs hold and exhibit relics of experiences and memories. I looked at the work of Paul Thek and gathered images of diseased organs for reference, but my research was primarily based in material/process experimentation. After a few material/process trials, I became more interested in the subtle changes that can be created on/just beneath the surface rather than changes within the organs. How experiences and memories grow off of things rather than change them within. Conscious-level interpretation versus subconscious. I've experimented with different surface treatments, colors, layering, time, and the manipulation of my materials.

Evidence:
Differences between gloss super heavy/heavy/glass bead gel
Extent of layering with liquid latex
Time spent drying with liquid latex
Layering when dry vs when wet
Color mixing on organs
Wax vs plastic wrap vs gel
Layering of surface treatments
