final show consisted on 4 pieces which i thought were the most successful

I began to experiment with different materials in response to the photos ( can be seen in sketch book ) before i eventually focused on the up-close image of a cemented wall with an interesting pattern. Taking inspiration from this , as well as other artists from my contextual i began to experiment with plaster , recreating different effects with different materials until i was satisfied with the result.
