Installation Art

Friday my nephew asked me if I knew what an art installation was. I said yes but I had a hard time explaining so I googled it. According to Wikipedia "Installation Art" is an artistic genre of three-dimensional works that are often site-specific and designed to transform the perception of a space.
Then he tells me he needs to create an art installation due Monday and did I have any ideas?
" sure" I said "we have a bunch of old cardboard boxes in the garage that we need to get rid of. Cut them in to some shape" we settled on a triangle shape. After a while he asked me to see if he had made enough. They had about 80 triangles I said no I had originally thought about 200 would do but after seeing how small their pile was I told them we would need about 400.

So Collin and I volunteered to help cut triangles. Then we took chrome spray paint to make them look like something better than card board and gave them each a few coats.

             

I helped Tyson calculate the shape we wanted. A wave seemed the easiest.

We used thread and paper clips to hang them. With Kaylynne's help we got them all hung. And the whole process only took three days

                                   













 Here are a few "artsy" shots as Tyson calls them.
