the storker project: tiny, discarded cicada-like shells of babies littering the urban landscape. An engaging metaphor commenting on abandoned youth and its idealism.
Gives me an idea for a variation on a meme.
Sheep.
Look for it soon.

The how seems pretty easy really - he's got a link from his "other" page -
http://tapesculpture.org/index.html
I have a dream - where little tape babies and Awed Job's tape sheep live in harmony with little tape duckies about to hit the streets around here - I mean - uh - Not that I would -- you now
Never mind...

Some of those Storker pictures are like Where's Waldo puzzles. Fantastic!

animals are going to eat that tape out there in the woods...and no one is going to take them to the vet to pull it out.

Seeing those hollow ghost-shell people reminds me of the way I felt staring at the first grey hair that sprouted amongst all my "regular" hairs. Chilling, like a meeting a visitor from another dimension.
Love the way this medium can invoke interpretations as "ghosts" "water creatures," "ice creatures" (arguably, a close relative of h2o creatures), molted husks, aliens, etc...
