Outdoor project

Regeneration

I thought of what could be a catalyst for regrowth, duh, band-aids. I was thinking about regeneration as a healer, physically and emotionally. I remember when I was little I would look for a small scratches on my hands or legs so i could beg for a fancy ban

idea #1
I was trying to figure out how to create drawings that can be displayed outside. Online I found a company that takes a Jpg image turns them into street stickers. I want to take drawn and manipulated band-aids and turn them into street decals. Utilize window space with window decals. Anne Pearce told me about an printmaker that does a lot of window decals, Adriane Herman, her work is pretty inspirational. What led me to knitted graphiti was figuring out how to create gurilla art that is non invasive. Depending on the space, machine knitted texutres and patterns could be attaced to all sorts of surfaces. I want to plan something that is inviting, where there is a balance between plastic and soft.

My scanner needs a new driver so i'll upload pictures later.

  1. Sounds interesting. It's different than what I would have thought of. I think it would be neat to see.

  2. i really like the drawing of band-aids and turning them into decals/stickers/window decals. i am not sure about the yarn pieces as they may not hold up to the weather. That being said---what are the street stickers? can you give me a link so I can look at examples? this is really fascinating to me. I think you are really onto something quite awesome!!!! I want to pics, links, sizes/dimensions. I like the idea of combining the soft with the plastic, I just don't think it would hold up to the weather. Can you make the fabric into stickers? It wouldn't be soft but give the illusion of comfort. Great start!
