plenty of ads and other shiny things
strange plastic reels, but might form the base of something like a flying fish that spins as it hangs or two of them to make a butterfly or moth body.
reflective, silver quilt and rolled silver contacts
heaps of this foil wrapping. not see through so maybe use for the top artwork in small amounts to help catch the light, but would be great for around the bottom of the rotunda, we could do a huge sea theme. or just make gorgeous shiny creatures or big flowers and bugs and then put a different colour background under each area that will Make it stand out.
spots and dots and a textured red stuff
I thought this might be stuffed with cellophane and stitched together to make long snakes worms, or cut open for lizard skins and reptiles
spider legs and silver webbing?
bags of plastic tendrils, 1cm wide and a bit cellophane in texture. - jelly fish, stuffing for see through creatures, under water froth
Heaps of this quilted foam with metallic top and contact bottom. which means you can cut out shapes and stick it on.
hundreds of these clear plastic lids if you like them and also these plastic lengths which are a bit like spider legs, antennae or jellyfish tendrils
ducting. I was with my friend Beka at Reverse Truck ( she will be assisting with the install at Commonwealth Reserve and she suggested we can cut it and make circles with it. So it makes silver circles about 30 cm wide. There is heaps of ducting there, so we can make scullions of these if you like them.
otherwise don't forget that we can make poly tube or cane circles.
at reverse truck there was heaps of clear plastic in all forms, rolls of it. different widths and qualities.
I have a bag of mesh fruit bags that someone had collected.
good for making bugs, fish, lizards, flowers and plants
I have a collection of see through fabrics and can collect more if needed, you might want to make a stitched work with the kids.
I have heaps of cellophane too, if you need to augment what you are doing with some colours,
butterflies, mosquitos, flowers, fish
heaps of coloured feathers in case anybody wants to make birds.
I have a collection of coloured plastics and also some which have been ironed together.
I have a large roll of this orange stiff, it is about a metre high. I thought it could form the background of a series of artworks about endangered creatures?
AND
some imagery from past projects that use sunlight and transparent materials.
