Ribcage with Spine Attached


When assigned this project, I immediately thought of making a ribcage attached with the spine. I was talking to Matt about it just jokingly, but I thought i'd be a great idea. I understand that two other people are doing the ribcage, and a few others doing the spine, but I think it should be fine, because art is always being portrayed differently with each artist. Reproduction right?

I wanted to emphasize a lot on detail, making my ribcage as realistic as possible. It'll be difficult considering the materials that I intend to use, but hopefully the creativity will makeup for the detail.

Materials:
1) CD/DVD Stack Holder as a base and support
2) CD's
3) Flexible wire
4) Chains
5) Soda Cans (cut the aluminum to make it look more sturdy (ribcage))
6) Paint
7) Aluminum foil around the wiring of the ribs

These materials will be both found and a few bought.

I'm not quite sure about what the second use of my sculpture will be but I was thinking something along the lines of a CD holder or a sculpture used for storage/stacking materials. It'll be supported by the CD holder base.
