For this weeks shock task, we were asked to bring in kinder asks, some people were asked to draw from them, but me and Floss we asked to make some sort of sculpture or installations from the leftover packaging, instructions and brown paper bags (which were also asked for)!
We were up for the task! But quite unsure what to do, so we started categorised everything and then thought about creating a looming swarming piece coming from the ceiling... hopefully being a bit of an opposite of the lovely little surprise, that is a kinder egg...
We changed things as we went along, and asked people what they thought; because of the hanging parts and the colours, most people thought it was quite happy, like a mobile or tree, which wasn't really what we were going for, and so we thought about clumping everything together and hoisting up the hanging mobile parts....
We spent most of the day on it, and we were quite happy with the result, the decision to pile (well,very carefully balance) everything together. We had our swarms of rubbish climbing up and falling out, and creeping onto the floor and had a few compliments too!
So, I really enjoyed this task, especially working with a partner and being thrown into it, gave us less time to think about it, which was good for me as I can sometimes over think things, and its best to keep it simple or just try something out (like with the deconstructed drawings).
I think it has definitely made me think about space and scale; this just took a few hours on a monday, so I want to invade a space and maybe pin and stick a few things together, and thinking about what I am making in relation to a space...
