The Body of the Fish

​

Created by weaving twine through scales cut from plastic sheets. Three hoops constructed of PVC pipe stood as the skeleton for the body and another, separate for the head as it needed to detach. String lights were hung inside the plastic to give the fish its glow.

The head was built out of wire netting, cut and shaped into the maw of the fish. The features are detailed by tape, and a blue light glows from the eye, distinguishing it from the body's green coloration. Each PVC pole had a stand offstage and onstage, where the head and front pole of the body were clamped together, allowing the body to detach easily and swiftly on cue.
