Material - Latex


My first lesson material was about latex. We had to experiment and think of things we could do with it. I already know you can make amazing masks or parts of the body with it, but I never really played with it on other materials. So thats what I did this time. Playing with latex and analyzing the results. Below you will see some of the experimenting I did.



The stone came out really cool, especially the structure.

The 5 cent changed a bit in colour because of the latex. You can see the print of the 5 cent in the latex.

This one came out unexpected. Because of the humidity the tape got wrinkels and you see them back in the latex.

The rope became flexible and you can shape it a bit because of the latex.

If you can pull the latex of the plastic it will look like this. It's hard to pull it off in a good way.

Duct-tape wasn't that great to use for this experiment, as you can see I only pulled off a little layer of latex.

This where some of the things I experimented with. We where with a group and others where playing with glue and that also made a great effect. It was really slimy and creepy. You can also use Ecoline to add colour to your latex. Next material lesson I will be busy with plaster and clay.
