THE BLOB
The blob is the first project and structure I put together. The main material was a 2.5 litre opaque plastic bottle. More than a 100 were collected over a period of one and a half year. Only the bottom part was use for this project. Green and blue bottles were also collected during the same. The main aim was to create a sheet of elements, in this case, units to explore assemblage and behaviour.
Each unit is mainly composed of a flower, a bottle saucer. They were bonded by a bold, washer and nut in metal suggesting a bond that is adamant. A plastic bottle cap was added using glue, an expected add-on for any healthy couple.
However the units were themselves attached with each other using a plastic material - le Scoubidou - Iconic plastic strings. A 3-point attachment was used between each unit and the thread was doubled.
Three is the minimum number to form as a family unit.
Once the sheet was completed, exploration began. Two time points were explored, half size and full size.

A big thank you to UCL Respiratory members for assisting in the collection of those bottles.
