Ink Cartridge Art
Posted in: Recycling, blog by CW on 24 August 2010
I realize that my fascination with ink cartridges isn’t shared by many of you. I work with them on a daily basis, you probably give them a thought every few months when you have to replace them. Then they’re “out of sight and out of mind” until they run dry again. Not for me.
I see and handle them 40 hours a week. They’re quite interesting, complex electronics in a thin metal strip tacked onto a plastic box. Their designs are unique and their shapes suggestive. I frequently wish some could make better use of them once their productive life is over.
Faith Pearson has realized my imagination. She literally saw outside the box. Here are some shots of her assemblages, courtesy of Make: Online.
And yes, I can name every cartridge in each of those constructions.
