Presentation
Presenting the paper casts
a very simple google slides presentation, just really simple one word slides to create a loose story - to help keep me on track and to communicate in simple, clear terms
show and tell style explanation of the casting process - bringing cabbage leaves, beeswax and paper casts so the judges can hold the casts and really understand the process
show a few brief videos and images around my process, showing the compost heap
speak briefly about plans for the future, 3D casting on a larger scale, video/animation of the decomposition of the paper casts to generate new work etc
Notes
I want to focus on the words circularity, materiality and regeneration
The innovation in the work is the idea that it is ecologically almost-neutral, that the paper goes back into the compost heap not just to make more paper but to create nutrient rich compost
I must be crystal clear on my messaging, what this is about, avoiding long winded context and academic background
