Tape Sculpture:

So we are back into it for a month (until we have to all black out again ha haaaaa)
well looking around on the net we found this, Tape Sculpture and the best bit about Mark Jenkins is he likes to share his art. And how to do it, soooo we thought we could share it on with you ? ?
Mark Jenkins is an American artist most known for his street art installations he creates using packing tape. His work has been featured in various newspapers and magazines including Time Out: New York, The Washington Post, etc etc.
Mark Jenkins: "There is opposition, and risk, but I think that just shows that street art is the sort of frontier where the leading edge really does have to chew through the ice. And it's good for people to remember public space is a battleground, with the government, advertisers and artists all mixing and mashing, and even now the strange cross-pollination taking place as street artists sometimes become brands, and brands camouflaging as street art creating complex hybrids or impersonators. I think it's understanding the strangeness of the playing field where you'll realize that painting street artists, writers, as the bad guys is a shallow view. As for the old bronzes, I really don't see them as part of what's going on in the dialogue unless addressed by a new intervention“............
