Giant Jellies Art Installation

Dare County Arts Council, Giant Jellies Art Installation
Event Description: 

About the Art: There is something exquisite about the simplicity of jellies. Their color, shape and size are mesmerizing. This trio of Giant Jellies were created to spark curiosity about these magical creatures. The bells were sculpted over exercise balls, then drilled, sanded, painted and sealed. The colorful tentacles are made from deconstructed bath sponges and recycled beads. The reefs and their creatures are built out of expanding foam and wet sand, plus polymer clay and upcycled plastic bottles. Electrical conduit, bicycle wheels and plywood make up the armatures.

“Complexity is intriguing, but there is something exquisite in the utter simplicity of jellies, and their uniqueness is the theme of these sculptures,” said artist Carol Willett. “To create the bells, I sculpted over exercise balls, then drilled, sanded, painted and sealed them. The colorful tentacles are made out of deconstructed bath sponges and recycled beads. Electrical conduit, bicycle wheels and plywood make up the armatures. The coral reefs, sponges and anemones on the bottom of the sculptures are built out of expanding foam and wet sand, plus polymer clay and upcycled plastic bottles.” - Carol Willett
