For this project I knew I wanted to observers to be able to interact with whatever I made. So I started by making things to place on the various tables around campus.
On the first table I placed a teapot and a set of teacups. They are very bright and stand out to those who are passing by. I was surprised that people were very interested in what I had placed on the table and I was able to take a photo of an observer as I left.
On the second table I placed dice in the hopes people would use them. However, I noticed that these don't stand out as much because of their colors.
Your sculptures are eye-catching, and people want to take them home. How can you change the objects, or their placement, to encourage this?
