This was a project in which we had to choose a piece of art from an artist and recreate it using a variety of textures. I choose to do David Hollenbach's painting "American Prospect." No worries this piece does not mean I hate America, haha. Hollenbach was making a statement about the American justice system. I think it has to do with slavery in the past but I'm not one hundred percent sure.
I created this piece using found objects such as: a cd, cardboard, canadian tire money, shoes laces, small rope, foam board, coffee filter, cling wrap, pencil case material, elastics, dryer sheets, piece of a towel, newspaper, sandpaper, toothpaste bottle, card stock, fudge-o packaging, epson ink cartridges and much more! We also had to have visual textures (can see but not touch, 2D) I have a couple of those to. For example, the face is drawn and not actually a texture, some of the stripes are just print outs of wood and metal textures.
(if you click on it you will be able to see the textures much better)
This is the original piece by David Hollenbach:
