Induction weeks at uni

So, started uni last Monday (20th) and had a mimi project base on the "100 objects" thing- I chose onion.
I have looked at the fragility and papery translucent qualities of the outer skin rather than trying to make a solid form.
I used wire as my primary material to hold the form- it also reminds me of the veiny lines in the onion. I also used tissue mainly to create the thin fragile aesthetic As well as experimenting with poly-fusioned thin plastic and just the wire shell with no covering.
I am also trying very hard to keep organised and doing extra work this year so that I get a good grade- not just scrape a third like last year.
