Inflatable sculpture is often seen as absurd, comic or light-hearted, but it can also convey a darker, more serious tone. The inflatable sculptures created in part fulfillment for this degree explore refabrication through the use of discarded plastic. This body of work highlights the relationship between industrialisation, plastic goods and nature. The insubstantial, flimsy qualities of the inflatable are an extended metaphor for the fragility of ecologies and the impact of plastic pollution on the environment. 2014-12-28T15:01:43Z 2014-12-28T15:01:43Z 2010 Master Thesis Masters MA http://hdl.handle.net/11427/10408 eng application/pdf Michaelis School of Fine Art Faculty of Humanities University of Cape Town |
