Reduce Reuse Recycle

This sculpture began as an investigation into how sunlight interacts with clear plastic materials, specifically clear plastic forks. The forks are structured in individual tetrahedral shapes then melted together to form the shape of a dome. These pyramid structures are based on Buckminster Fuller's geodesic dome Spaceship Earth at Epcot, but assembled in a chaotic way to contrast the repetitive organization of Buckminster Fuller's dome. The plastic forks surround the flowers within it to mimic the overuse of non renewable resources surrounding our every day lives.
