Restless

Green cups

It started with yogurt cups.  I would paper-clip a bunch of them together, so they made a curved shape like the surface of a sphere, with the open ends facing out, looking like a hive.

I got some clear (and tinted) plastic cups, clipped them together, and took pictures of them against the window, or throwing shadows on the wall.

Here is one of the pictures.  Other than the color, the picture is pretty accurate, with light coming through a window to throw the bright rectangle and shadow from the cups, on the right.  The color was an attempt to give the darkness some warmth, though it reminds me of the bottles Mickey's Big Mouth beer used to come in, that gave Mickey's the nickname "The Green Death."

Thanks NMJ. I've been trying to find a way to get cheap, reliable prints of some of these images (on 11" x 14" paper); I'll let you know if I succeed.
