Fluxus Box

Image
Materials: Palette Wood, Balsa Wood, Red Wax, Multiple Inks, Paper, Metal Wire, Metal Straight Pins, Glass Bottles, Painted Tissue Paper, Miniature Skull, Paint, Wood Glue, Hot Glue Measurements: 17.5" x 12" x 9.5" When given this project, I knew immediately I wanted to create my box around the Pirates of the Caribbean movies. To create the box itself, I used very old, broken palette wood painted violet-black to make a shipping crate. The top was made by weaving old rope I found through the side handles so that in order to reach in to grab an object, I would have to reach my hand through the rope.               The letter saying “It’s just good business” represents the way Captain Beckett communicated with his crew and enemies.

I used resin mixed with black ink to hold the shape of liquid in a wine glass. To do this, I mixed the ink and resin first, and then poured the mixture into a wine glass set on its side. I allowed the large mixture to dry for over 72 hours before breaking the glass off around the memento to reveal the final product. The resin created a shiny surface where I could look back at myself to see my reflection, and the black ink was used to represent the emptiness and darkness I felt when receiving the news of his death.
