UNBOUND
Zachary Ajour

Unbound is an investigation into the properties of masking tape- its fragility, translucency, and its ability to connect to itself.  Focusing upon the unique ripples I simply began to create in a somewhat meditative fashion.  From the beginning the idea was to take the multiple and turn it into a full enclave of a room.  This overall installation- similarly to each individual piece- grew into its inevitable fall of gravity.  At the start they hold a specific space; over time however the gallery will become an unbound entangles chaos.

  1. This is a delightful exploration of masking tape. The natural looking ripples seemed to have grown into such delicate and ephemeral forms; I was unable to discover what your material was.
    I love it!

  2. There is something about it that has a gross stickiness about it, but despite that it is very beautiful and delicate.Then if it looks sticky in a way then you think about how it is made out of sticky tape and thats really neat. At first glance it looked like lace , but I like that is it not and is made of tape. Nice use of material.

  3. I have seen many people explore the use of tape yet each time they manage to come up with something new. I love this piece. The curvature is beautiful in some of the lines. This is a very appealing piece even though the material is fairly simplistic. Great job I am curious to see what else you could do with tape.
