Our second project for GD MFA is to created artwork for Exhibition in reprposes theme. Students will submit their projects to Kenneth FitzGerald for this exhibition. This project is very wide. It could be either reusing ideas, methodologies, theories, principles, texts) as well as material repurposing (physical stuff).
I came up with the idea of repupose of plastic bags. I cut up them by hand into vines in graphic form then layered them together. This piece can act as a literal shield to the sun as window blinds while crating playful shadows that mimic actual shadows from nature, like those from a tree.
By cutting up many plastic bags, I discovered the random beauty of different types of plastic, such as transparent, opaque and moving. I reused plastic bags in order to make people think and ultimately find ways themselves to reuse materials.
