One idea I am heavily considering for my final project is a work representative of our nation's corporate controlled food industry. Inspired by my belief that food should be organic and locally grown, I would like to create a plant-like sculpture that appears to belong to big business rather than to Earth. The main structure will be made with paper mache, using food advertisements as the paper. The leaves and fruit will bear logos of food companies, also taken from advertisements. The structure will be painted lightly so that the advertisements can still show through. What I hope to achieve is a final piece that makes people regard our current food system as unnatural.
Resources needed:
- Lots of food advertisements (I can get them while at home for Thanksgiving)
- Wire or toilet paper tubes to create the underlying structure of the paper mache plant
- Paint
- Glue for attaching the leaves
- Possibly a pot to display the structure in.
