Chapter 11Disintegrating Paper and Fabric








Samples of disintegrating paper showing cut, torn, stabbed, burnt and wet crumpled paper.

Torn paper shapes showing disintegration with each sample by tearing more of the shape away and recomposing and replacing negative shapes.

Cut and frayed fabric showing disintegration by fraying edges, using small pieces to make a larger shape, replacing negative shapes, cutting cross shape from bonded threads, free motions sewing over scraps trapped between water soluble stabiliser.

Working sheets extending the concept of disintegration through bleaching colour and fraying fabric. Pictures of weathered and rusted metal and door. Excellent illustration of weathering and colour variation incorporating the cross shape and chosen colour scheme.
