The blob is my first project, using 2.5-litre opaque plastic bottles as the main material. Over a year and a half, I collected more than 100 bottles, using only the bottom part. Green and blue plastic bottles were also gathered. The goal was to create a sheet of elements, or units, to explore assemblage and behaviour.

 

Each unit includes a flower-like bottle saucer, bonded with a bolt, washer, and nut for strong attachment. A plastic bottle cap was glued on as an additional element. The units were connected with iconic plastic strings called le Scoubidou, using a 3-point doubled thread attachment.

 

Once the sheet was completed, exploration began. Two time points were explored, half size and full size.
