Framing the shadow

Here I have continued with my experimentations of different materials. I have used a pair of nylon tights stretched over a picture frame.I like how the layers are varied, creating different shapes as well as different intensities of opacity, much like shadows themselves. I thought stretching them over frames would be interesting as it continues to evoke the idea of preservation, trying to put something within a shape and make it conform to it. However the images shown above are of the shadow which is, in fact, the most intersting part of the piece;when light is shone through it. This carries on with my exploration of shadows'evasive qualities and the impossibility of replicating them.
