most of these are from an art project based in new york. they take figures (like dolls) and cover them in saran wrap. then they use clear packing tape to completely cover the figure over and over again. then you just take a box cutter and remove the form. its pretty easy actually
Actually Anton, they call this packaging tape, not scotch tape. Scotch tape refers to a completely different type of tape altogether. Scotch tape wouldn’t be applicable for this kind of a project on a count of the fact that the hold isn’t strong enough, not that it even matters. This is post modernism in action, nice post.
This is the work of Mark Jenkins of Washington D.C. A great interview and a bunch more photos of his work can be found in the January issue of Juxtpoz magazine
lol, who cares if its scotch tape…he made these from tape and saran wrap, do you not find that strange enough? and i thought it was nuts when i went to montanna (im from texas and we do not all have huge texas acents) and everyone kept saying pop! i was convinced that they were talking about bubblegum until a friend brought me some sprite. pop? wth, it’s soda.
This packing tape project is awesome. Its also fairly difficult if you have ever tried it even with a base underneath. I cant imagine how long the giraffe took.
It’s regional people. Where you’re from determines the common names for common things. You’re engaging in a pointless argument. Everyone knew pretty much what they meant, though, eh? The forms are very well done, the placement ingenious.
Scotch Tape denotes the line of adhesive tapes manufactured by 3M as part of the company’s Scotch brand.
The precursor to the current tapes was developed in the 1930s by Richard Drew to seal a then-new transparent material known as cellophane[1]. Although it is a trademarked brand name, it is often used in the US and elsewhere as a generic term for transparent adhesive tape.
Use of the term “Scotch” in the name has a pejorative origin. To cut costs 3M applied the adhesive only to the edges of the tape. A remark was made by a St. Paul automobile detailer[citation needed] that the stingy Scotch bosses needed to put more adhesive on it, and the name has stuck ever since. Scotty McTape, a kilt-wearing cartoon boy, was the brand’s mascot for two decades, first appearing in 1944. The familiar plaid design was introduced in 1945.

If I said I needed a Kleenex, would you know I meant a tissue? It’s Scotch tape to them, let it be. And yes, we do call soda (or pop - how gay) “coke” down in Texas.
Wht a challenge. How challenging. Where can I find some tape. I want to reply to this artist’s inspiring others. How everybody of the person. How sweet! The first caption of the sitter holding the world in her hands is simply sweet…what a gift…man…I cry.
Let’s all be immature assholes and argue about the idiosynchracies of regional dialects and the exact name of the type of tape rather than discussing the artwork itself, like good, mature internet users.
Seriously, folks. This is why I have given up on this generation and this country.
I just had to comment on the person who said they call all soft drinks “coke” down south….your so wrong….we call all soft drinks “sodas” or actually “sodies”

Certainly an interesting way to use Scotch tape. The detail is pretty good considering the nature of the material used.
December 15th, 2007 at 1:11 pm
too bad that isnt scotch tape
December 15th, 2007 at 1:26 pm
Wow, this is amazing, man… wonder how they kept the tape from sticking to itself.

shandeloh, Scotch is a brand, not a particular style of tape
December 15th, 2007 at 11:31 pm
I can’t believe people are arguing about whether or not it’s scotch tape. Hilarious.
December 16th, 2007 at 12:10 am

It’s called scotch tape, regardless of the brand, kinda like how they call all soft drinks “coke” down south.

i call it sticky tape…scotch tape is a brand. Anyway i like the forms.
December 16th, 2007 at 6:16 pm
Lol…we refer to the soda by its name, just like everyone else.
December 16th, 2007 at 11:04 pm
…or band-aid, ipod, kleenex, or Xerox. I call it majic tape, but I actually think that these were made with packing tape.

Does look more like cling wrap (Saran Wrap) than tape.
December 17th, 2007 at 4:39 pm
wow, this is really interesting

My dad used to tie me up with scotch tape and stick his finger in my bumhole… I can’t even look at tape now
December 17th, 2007 at 11:04 pm
A brilliant artistic form, reminded me of Pompeii!And also so practical…if double sided tape were used , it would make an excelle cat hair remover.

STICK to your day job U pseudo STUCK-UP artist {?} Feh!

The comments, I mean. The artwork is great!

not an adhesive tape, is a cast from a mold!

awesome-groovy sculptures, liking the idea of taking me some tape ducks down the park and liberating them.
by the way, wtf is this ’saran wrap’? is it clingfilm in america or owt? and surely…sellotape? just throwin’ it in there…
December 27th, 2007 at 9:18 am
[…] Of, als je geen zin hebt, wat met de plakband prullen. […]
December 28th, 2007 at 1:16 am
All I can add is that if someone in my office asked for scotch tape and got packing tape instead, they’d think I was insane.

Also, great art. I must try it sometime.

People remember we were looking a art, not discussing the idiosyncratic nomenclature of the medium.

Lovely and timely.
Is arguing about it part of the experience of art for some of you?
I think arguing over brands and semantics is “over.”
December 31st, 2007 at 11:31 am
Great art form….thank you for sharing it with us…
Happy 2008
December 31st, 2007 at 11:08 pm
Very cool… i think the ducks are brilliant
January 2nd, 2008 at 1:01 am
HEY ALL IM AN ASSHOLE WHO

How long does it take to do that and how much does it cost?

Awesome work! Made me smile.
I thought he used Celo tape. Thats what we call it here in Britain anyway!
January 9th, 2008 at 5:44 pm

January 9th, 2008 at 6:54 pm
safe
January 30th, 2008 at 10:34 am
That’s pretty good stuff. Thanks to Michael for his borderline sad account of the different types of sellotape.
February 20th, 2008 at 11:01 pm
can’t you guys just shut up and enjoy the art who gives a f*** what it’s made out of. it’s just a name. get over yourselves and quit complaining.
February 29th, 2008 at 12:40 am
Is that really made of scotch or packaging tape? or whatever tape they use to call it?
March 2nd, 2008 at 8:37 pm
Those pictures are pretty good, I’ve seen some before (or atleast similar).I like the giraffe best.
March 15th, 2008 at 9:53 pm
It’s called an eponym. Look it up.
The artwork is cool.

How amazing is that!! Now thats what I call creative.
I too never would have thought of ‘Tape’ as a material used for making sculptures!

Now that is very interesting but probably a waste of too much tape! LOL!
