  9. MARK JENKINSdaylightdrama@yahoo.com • Making tape casts is a trick I first figured out as a kid bored at school with crayons and later decided to use it to create a tape species as a public art project in Rio de Janeiro. I live in Washington DC. Tapius Maximus

  10. FAQS MARK JENKINS daylightdrama@yahoo.com • Q: When you get to the point of cutting the cast off a live person, do you have any tricks for making sure their clothes/skin don't get sliced? • A: Try bandage scissors. They're designed to protect the skin/clothes. • Q: I am a boy scout from Germany and I'd love to copy your tape sculptures for an art weekend with our kids. I also read the "How to" article about the giraffe, but i wonder how it gets the stability to stand like it does. It says something about plastic strips? But what are these? Do u have to buy them? I think I've never heard of "plastic stripes" in stores... • A: You can get this plastic by cutting out the center portion of plastic beverage bottles (and then cut again into strips). Put the strips in areas that carry the most weight. With the giraffe this is the legs and lower neck. • Q: Yes, I've read your FAQ, but what do I do with the plastic strips? Do I glue them in the outside part or in the inside part of the sculpture? Do i glue them together to make a stick to stand the sculpture? How do I use the plastic stripes? • A: Strips should be imbedded between the layers of tape. Cross hatching strips works well too. • Q: What's the best way to put a light inside a tape sculpture? • A: For internal lighting use a low-heat light source such as LED's.
