A little bit backdated but I figured I would document it anyway!
1. lasting a very short time; short-lived; transitory: the ephemeral joys of childhood.
2. lasting but one day: an ephemeral flower.
3. anything short-lived, as certain insects.
For the ephemeral project I chose to explore the subtopic: Working with Mundane, Expendable, Everyday, Found objects.
After considering a number of possibilities, I settled on paper as my starting point. Paper is such an overused and underappreciated commodity and I wanted to explore ways in which to transform it into something else. I considered paper cutting, folding, origami and burning but felt that this wouldn’t be enough of a transformation; the paper would still be recognisable as paper; and so I decided to explore turning the paper to pulp.
