Not much has changed about my sculpture since my last post. I am continuing to add pieces to the mosaic, which is going somewhat slowly but now that I can cut the CDs more easily its moving faster. In some areas I'm layering more pieces of CDs over top to cover some of the blank spaces and places where the glue has smudged. I also found one blue CD, which I am trying to figure out if I should incorporate somehow or keep the piece monochromatic.

For this project I am using cut up CDS to create a mosaic. Some parts of it are flat, while other parts are three dimensional pyramid shapes. One difficulty I've encountered so far is cutting up the CDs because normal scissors do not cut them easily. The best way I've found to cut them is using tin snips (the red handled things in thw first picture), which are very heavy duty and work pretty well. For the content of this piece, I am focusing on how CDs are a media that is quickly becoming obsolete as things like Netflix become more popular. Although they are becoming forgotten by people, because they are plastic they will remain in the environment for thousands of years.
