Masking Tape Shoe

ARTIST STATEMENT:

When assigned this project I was originally nervous because I had no idea it was possible to build an actual pair of shoes out of tape that I sometimes use for painting. Once I did my paper draft I realized how difficult it was to measure out the proportions of the shoe perfectly. Once I started doing the actual tape shoe itself getting the base was difficult and actually restarted a few times. While doing the base of the shoe I stuffed the inside with scrap paper. Once I got the base I moved to the sides which was the easiest part. The two parts I had the most trouble with was attaching the two sides in the back along with adding the tongue of the shoe, no matter how many times I tried it was hard to get the proportions correct. Over all I liked the project I just wish we had smaller assignments with tape to help us nail it.
