vedi sotto/flame sculpted Explanation: The problem here is "fire". If you say melted by fire it sounds, to me, as if the material was accidentally burned, found by the artist and used in his work One would have to say "that he burns" or, better, I would say what is the specific instrument he uses to work the plastic with fire. Flame sculpted is the only other option I can offer ciao paola l m |

flamed Explanation: It's a term that's used in other fields of art: flaming - A process for finishing and hardening a wax model by passing a candle flame over the surface. Given that your artist seems to have pioneered the process for polystyrene, I think you can also apply it here. In your case, you could put: "The artists uses the outlines of the flamed plastic as if they were graphic signs... " Reference: http://www.artlex.com/ |
