Progression.

so its been an eventful week.
my original idea was to create a super-glued arch of empty plastic bottles around the drinking fountain in first floor lawrence. the idea is to promote awareness for how many plastic bottles we go through every day. i currently have two 30 gallon trash bags full of bottles, all collected in one day around campus.

so i have all my bottles for the sculpture, but was told i have to wait two weeks to get a building art installation approved. so in the meantime i came up with a backup proposal that can be easily moved.
i am calling this 'the refill project', and this idea would be something like the word 'refill' spelled out of all my bottles, laid out on the ground in front of the water fountain. there would also be a space so that people can still get through.
i have also made up a few posters to inform at and around the sculpture location.
feedback is appreciated. i ams till going through with the art install process, but assuming that takes the full two weeks, i will have this plan to fall back on.
