Millions of handmade, hand painted sunflower seeds covering the floor at the Tate Modern. Insane!
“As the eleventh commission in the tate modern’s unilever series, chinese conceptual artist ai weiwei has filled the museum’s turbine hall with millions of life-sized sunflower seed husks made out of
porcelain. the collective effort of a number of specialists from jingdezhen, china, the hand-crafted seeds were individually formed and painted. the intallation encourages visitors to touch and walk on the carpet of tiny replicates.
Ai Weiwei has manipulated the traditional methods of crafting porcelain, which has historically been considered to be one of china’s most prized exports, to explore the ‘made in china’ phenomenon and the geo-politics of cultural and economic exchange today.”

This is a PAINTING. What’s more, it’s an ACRYLIC painting. This took six months of hard work, and it shows. This is amazing!

Redemption!
I fixed my fuck up. Originally there wasnt supposed to be any paint in the background, but I accidentally squirted a huge blob of ink on it. Painted over the blob, and re-did the ink the “right” way. Not exactly what I planned, but not too bad.
