This weeks Kick About over on Red’s Kingdom is the textile installation art of Sheila Hicks. After having to buy a new washing machine, I kept some of the styrofoam that came in the packaging. Call me a hoarder all you like, but I knew I could make something out of the grooves and shapes warped into the styrofoam mirroring the details of the machine. So I spray painted the styrofoam black and bought a bag of colourful cotton pom-pom balls to design the set of this miniature Hicks installation then lit it ablaze with some dramatic lighting and documented the process. Things took a more sci-fi, macabre turn when I decided to use some red gels – more of those attempts to come.

This is so much fun. Anything can be made into art is my belief as well. (K)

Thanks Kerfe and very true! I find myself looking and finding materials, textures and so on that I think “what could I make out of that” 😄

If only I’d known those coloured pompoms were ‘a thing’…
