My inspiration- George Radebaugh

Our next task set is to create any form of recycled art. i have chosen to make a mermaid out of CDs, newspaper, old jumpers and many other recyclable materials.

This sculpture was made by George Radebaugh. Radebaugh has used CDs to skillfully construct a fish that is eye catching and exciting. I like the idea of using CDs to make a sculpture because, as demonstrated by Radebaughs 'silver' sculpture, they create a shimmering effect that I love. I also like how you can make a different shape out of lots and lots of circular CDs.
   I think that this took Radebaugh a long time to contruct and i think he may have improvised a bit as he went along. I like how the piece is somehow loud and it reaches out at you, making you mesmorised by the colourful reflections in the individual CDs.
