Orange Roughy
Exhibited: Estranged, Depot Artspace, 3 x 1.7m, Council rubbish bags, tape, electric fan, 2017
I decided to fabricate an oversized Orange Roughy fish from Auckland Council plastic rubbish bags (60 litre orange bags). And to bring this sculpture to life by incorporating movement with a fan inside it as a bellows to inflate it and create the effect of breathing. This work was included in a group show titled: Estranged
Each outline shape of the pattern had a small 10mm tag along its outside edge for attaching to the next segment - like a 3d puzzle. The next step in the process was to cut all of the pieces out of the rubbish bags, attach them to each other and then construct all of the specific pieces into a whole forming a bladder for the fan.
