PET project
/ plastic water bottles /
NEW Check out the new photography project. I am making archival digital prints of photographs of the PETs.
NEW There is also a new set of images of the aquarium I built on display at Spring
I love the idea of using liquid containers to make water animals. Contained/containing, trash/not-trash, like the jelly-fish or anemone: Living/non-living
And I wanted some pets...

I use a combination of heat guns, soldering irons and different cutting utensils to make these PETs. I wanted to work with glass but this is more fun. I have as much material as I want just by fishing in the garbage.
what is PET?
PET (polyethylene terephthalate) is in fact very natural, it is
made from oil, which comes from really old plants. PET is
highly recyclable can be transformed again and again to
un-imagined uses.
