(used material; music as rule, myself as medium, polyester textile and as an instrument a soldering iron)

When I was ready and turned the tension ring for 90 degrees, the sunlight came trough, I immediately though, wow, how nice. By looking closer to the detail you see the burning in the fabric, like a lace of expression. The expression is precisely but in the mean time really rough in appearance. It is the instrument that engages with the material, the material melting away the feel of music. Love it! And thinking about the shadow, what a nice drawing.

Good to mention; when I saw the making off video a couple of times I realized that the ‘writing’ or ‘reading’ manner I express is from left to right and then to the left to start the next ‘line’. That’s strange, it should be more fluent, and the glue or the instrument shouldn’t make a stop or still to start again at the other side.

I, as medium, should be moving like this; left – right, right – left and not left – right, left - right.

In this experiment I apply this new way and it’s much better! Now the expression doesn’t suffer under this technique anymore.
