# Project Description

Crystalline Bloom

Jimmy Zheng

Summary

Final work

College Camberwell College of Arts

Course MA Fine Art: Painting

Graduation year 2025

These works are an exploration of how randomness can be made tangible. I allowed resin to flow and solidify freely, without direct control, resulting in crystal-like formations. These shapes were not deliberately designed but emerged organically through the material’s own behavior in specific conditions. I then assembled these structures together, allowing them to grow in an organic, almost life-like way. The final forms resemble natural landscapes, yet clearly do not belong to the natural world—appearing instead as an artificial nature constructed by the material itself. Through this process, I aim to collaborate with the material rather than control it, letting its unpredictable qualities shape the outcome.
