Pathway Project, Part 2: 23

For this project the brief read: 'Based on a simple number, produce a black and white image. Your number must be based on the concept - CRAFT & TECHNOLOGY

I wanted to incorporate the bottle top collection (final found an actual use for them). I chose 23 as it is one of my favorite numbers and therefore it would be a nice idea to include my favorite collection. So i began by simply playing around with the tops to form the number 23:


I liked this idea of playing with shape to form the number. I drew a grid and experimented with different shapes to make up 23. As i was doing this i wondered if i could use 23 squares to form the number 23, and after a few attempts i found it could be done.

from this i photographed the bottle tops, cut the printed paper into 5x5cm squares, and photographed the new arrangement to create the final image:


I'm really pleased with the final outcome, i like its quite a simple but clever idea. I also like that it looks almost like its been made digitally when in actual fact its just pieces of cut out paper.
