You will change two objects of your choice into something completely different by taking them apart and combining the pieces together, giving them a new life as something else.
You must reuse ALL of the material in your existing objects, combine them into a single work.
What you are responsible for bringing in to class
September 19 two objects not bigger than 12" that you feel comfortable changing. You should begin to disassemble your objects at home and bring ALL of the pieces to class.
Any other supplies you would like to use while altering your object, such as glue, tape, sewing supplies, etc.
September 26 Finished project due.

Could a [wall sculpture] count? Like a Styrofoam Lid as the canvas with the items literally popping out, or will a simple object- like a jewelry box work as the finish product? Could it be a functional object I recreated? Could we sew things (like plastic bags) to create a new object (a handbag for example?) Only two objects, does that only two TYPE of objects or two objects only?
