Kim Jonsson: When Life Gives You Lemons

I hate not being in control and not being able to plan ahead. Point in case, our task for this week was to bring multiples of a single material to construct 3D objects.
Trying to figure out the perfect material was an ordeal in itself. Evaluating the merits of the various possible building materials was harrowing. What could I buy cheaply in multiples that would be a versatile construction material? Icy pole sticks? no, too flat, too hard to cut up. Pipe cleaners? too thin. Paper plates? too boring. I desperation I grabbed a packet of plastic forks thinking "that's an interesting shape" What was I thinking! The plastic was really hard to manipulate and no matter how much I tried to deconstruct them they still looked like plastic forks.

The brief was to build four objects: Dense, Light/Open, Vessel/Container and a one using a mystery object harmoniously.

Monument to the Hungry Man

Dense: I envisage this as a large scale public art monument to the millions of takeaway shops that have save the lazy and and culinary challenged everywhere from extinction; myself included.

Light/Open:

What's for lunch?

There were not a lot of things I could think of to convey light and open using the forks. In the end I imagined a sea anemone unfurling to catch it's prey.
