Spoons

By  Jill Townsley 2009

Dimensions
1.4m x 1.4m x 8.5m

Spoons is made from 9273 plastic spoons and 3091 rubber bands. Three spoons are bound together at the scoop end to form a unit, the units tessellate to form a pyramid 8.5 metres tall. Over time the rubber bands perish and snap and each unit collapses. The whole structure is then undermined and experiences a random decay. This process was filmed with time-laps photography, programmed to take one image every twenty minutes day and night for 3 months.
