Dan Lorrimer: Fragment is an ongoing series of work that aims to explore the relationship between paper and steel through a process of repeatedly folding, cutting and working sheet metal with hydraulic pressure. The material then begins to take on the same characteristics of its paper counterpart, beginning to stress, crumple, tear and finally fragment. Through this process the work begins to explore the possibilities of form whilst highlighting the beauty of the raw materials from which the work is constructed.
