This is the final product that i have created using ONLY card board, bottle bottoms, bottle caps, an exact-o-knife and some scissors! AM-A-ZING right??? I think so too! This is not boasting, im just thrilled that all the paper(cardboard) cuts, headaches and stress made this beautiful composition! I know i named it "bottoms up" (due to the fact that the bottom of the bottles are facing its audience but i have nick-named it "the Jellies" >>> the green bottles look like jelly fish right?? > im from an island.. its hard not to compare items to things of the sea. (photo taken around 9:04 am)
I adore the light effect that the bottle bottoms and caps make. If you look closely, it looks like the bottle caps are little lights. You may not be able to tell but when im siting at my desk working, there is a continuous green glow that fills my cubical. (photo taken around 9:05 am)
This is the light effect projected from the bottle bottoms on to the wall. They almost look star like. I love it! this was when the sun was out around 9:10 am.
This is a photo of a section of the collective curve (my neighbors and i decided to work with the same concept. but with individual ideas and outcomes) The top right used balloons! crazy right??
This is an arial (inside the building) view of of my neighbor and i's window projects. This was 9 something in the morning as well. She decided to use green bottles as well (to coordinate with mine) but she used the tops of the bottles instead. We were at the end of the curve so we definitely had to end it with a bang!
Hard work (trash diving) pays off. Thanks guys for taking dumpster duty and getting me these beautiful bottle caps! yes. beautiful. its funny how you can make/find beauty in the strangest things. Add a little light to a bottle cap and you create something phenomenal!
This is a close up of the middle insert. The bottles look great in this photo!
This is probably one of my favorite photographs (yea i photographed it my self!). It is one of the best photographs to communicate what my project does and how it does it.
The Jellies! Taken around 3 pm
This is the outside view (the back of the I.A.R.C building) of my window and my model. It even looks great from the outside! and believe it or not this is about 8'o'clock at night!
This is a photograph to help communicate how large the building is compared to my window section and my model. The photo is not zoomed up to the window but if you look, you can actually still see the colors and design of my model. (no my model wasnt the only one up there. i was jus finished early and first!) > :)
This is an arial view (inside the building) around 8 pm of my model. The colors still look great and i still think it looks good but it really goes into a "gasping" effect during the morning hours and small periods of the early day> when the sun is still on the east.
This is a close up of the bottle caps. I would name this "lights off" because at 8 o'clock at night, they dont glow like they would have if it was in the morning.
The jellies at 8 at night!
miniature prototype. > so cute + tiny.
This is the process of cleaning, sorting and sectioning the bottle caps.
Prototype #2! ... a tad bit larger
The first drawing of our original plan. I know its hard to read, but it is sectioned off into windows, and it shows who has what part of the curve. The darker curve was supposed to symbolize green bottles, but only two of us actually used it.
Me and 5 of my cubicle neighbors. > 2 missing.
This was an internet image of one of Peter Zumthor's work. (HE IS MY ULTIMATE FAVORITE!) >> it inspired my work and piece greatly. one day i hope to be as brilliant as him! > according to photograph three of this post... i feel i pulled it off. : )
This is another piece from Peter Zumthor that helped with my design and development. I chose him not only because he is my favorite and is inspiring as an artist.. but i chose to pay close attention to his works because this was a project that focused on two moments of light and i feel peter works well with materials and the effects of light.
