"Trash Crab", David Plotnick, Mixed Media, AFO 2010
Originally this was going to be the first creature I would make but the food chain would not have been as exciting. While I feel it is a very stylized version of a crab, I was starting to experiment with the weight of different materials and surfaces. I was exploring the function of shapes and how they can be applied as characteristics of representation. The use of bottle caps for pincers is an example of this use. I also was debating whether to paint on these creatures. Our bug has met a bitter end to the crushing while goofy looking mandible of a larger predator. The materials used include: pencils, bottle caps, condiment containers, bubble wands, and screw on caps.
