“tell the story” of the title• Contrasting colors

Materials-brainstorm

• Aluminum• Apoxy• Apple cores• Orange peels• Plastic bottles• Rubber• Clay

Materials-brainstorm

Materials-brainstorm

• Cargo containers• Old ceramic dishes• Old wood from houses• Water• Dirt• Ashes from old fires

Materials-brainstom

• CD,s• Records• Cables (electrical)• Pen bodies• Old cars• Old planes• Old cars, and plane parts

Materials-brainstorm

• Tubs, binders, (organizing materials)• Laptops• Computer hardrives (the big block thingys)• oil

Products from materials

• Chair- TV’s, old clothes, paper, apoxy ressin stuff -less important

• Counter tops-ceramic dishes, apoxy, dirt-less important

• Tables-wood, old car/plane metal-kinda important

• A house- cargo containers, turf, mud/dirt/apoxy-kinda important

Products from materials

• New matches-ashes from old fires, thread from old shirts/jeans, grass, citric acid

• Art/sculptures-old computer keyboards, old computer hardrives, computer systems, TV’s, etc-less important

• Park benches-old paper products/cardboard, old steel from car/car parts-kinda important

Notes on products

• New Matches- old ember or ashes could be grinded and blended with water, threads from old shirts, and grass. These materials can be applied and mixed with each other. A orange paste from old orange peels can be grinded, and mixed into a paste, and applied to the mix of ashes, grass, and clothes (linen) oranges have a acidic level, and can burn/smoke

Notes on products

• Park Benches- using old wood that has been sanded, and has a soft touch to it. The board can be made of wood, and have a under base outline of old steel from car/airplane parts. The backrest can be made from car parts also, and have a pad made from old newspaper, applied with a resin to make it weather proof. The outcome-a bench

Notes on products

• Tables- basically a wood top to a table, supported by drive shafts from old cars. The wood would have metal siding for it to be sturdy, also from old cars

Notes on products

• Chair- putting old TV’s on car axles by sliding them in place, in a chair frame. Then taking old shirts and stitching them together to form a pillow, stuffed with shirts/cotton/and composted cardboard. But the inside of the pillows sprayed with non-lethal repellent for insects, and rodents.

Notes on products

• House- synthetic turf is replaced every 10 years, there are cargo containers lying around un-used, dirt is always readily available. By combining 3 cargo containers, and make them interconnect by welding off the sides. You can make a living area, covered by old field turf on the roof, and dirt, pushes around the edges and molded to the house with a epoxy mix to secure the house. A door can be welded out of one of the sides, and air conditioning can be supplied by a source of old coolant that is linked to several cool isolated containers, with a converter and filter to make it air, thus forth make it cold!
