The main theme for my course until the end of November is Reuse. It is a really wide theme when you start to look into the way artists have reused ideas and cultural norms from the past in their work. I am only just touching the tip of the iceberg at the moment. I had to make something as well, which was a more obvious path for me. It was something of a light relief to be honest.
I collected a pile of packaging, it’s surprising how quickly this is done, and then worked out how to use the plastic instead of fabric to make a bowl. I intend to make some paper beads, probably from colour supplements, to hang around the edge. It actually feels very firm and quite nice.
A wonderful idea and it looks great!
ReplyDeleteThis is wonderful! I love the colors and what a great way to reuse packaging!

Hi Jackie,
ReplyDeleteThe class you are taking sounds great. I'd love to take something like that.
Please continue to share what you learn about reusing.
I recycle a lot in my work and would love to figure out other ways of recycling.
Your bowl looks great.
Thank you for sharing,
Alma
