Island cake (John Bartell)
This piece... did NOT go as intended. A foray into using acrylic paint on aluminum foil (I still have a lot left as of this writing), my earlier technique of using the paint as a simultaneous glue wasn't working at all. The foil continued to try to stay in it's preferred shape. It didn't adhere to the recycled tissue paper under it either.
Though it is a personal failure, I did find it amusing how people interpreted the piece later. I just rolled along with it. Sometimes the best way to go is to allow people to create part of the work themselves.
