Acrylic Plexiglass
Octavious Jones has built multiple works of art with Acrylic Plexiglass.
Walk my Fish
Considering contrasting elements, Octavious built a boat of plexiglass in October of 2017. Jones put the transparent boat on three toy monster truck wheels. He poured water and placed five fish inside. A leash was attached to the bow so that the fish could be taken for a walk.
The Fountain
Octavious created a fountain made of plexiglass and a copper pipe. This fountain was exhibited beside Amphibious Readymade Creatures as well as ink drawings done with toys at a group exhibition at Galerie Gham & Dafe from April 17-29, 2019. An essay about this art was commissioned.
Revolving Reflections
Experimenting with light, Octavious presented an interactive installation. Jones built plexiglass boxes and filled them with coloured liquids. On March 23, 2020.
people were invited to pull the piece around in a circle, causing the light to travel though the plexiglass, controlling a moving shadow & reflection on the floor.
Keep me in a Daydream
Octavious cut and laser engraved Acrylic Plexiglass cards for magic tricks, built a cube creature that mysteriously follows the magician and a clear cellphone that triggered the Daydream
Zen Magnets
Octavious Jones built two Plexiglass boxes and some stairs for a maquette. The orange box below was filled with metal shavings and permanently sealed. The green box is filled with sand and magnets.
