Alien Plants

2013

plastic, fiber optics, electronics

Some plants exhibited: All Worlds Fair 2013 – San Francisco, CA

I created a series of  alien-looking plants out of recyled plastics, fiber optics, LEDs and electronics. I was able to combine organic shapes through heating and shaping a variety of plastics, and technology with color-changing LEDs, to create something familiar, yet alien.
