Tape Sculptures-Truth!

Art From Tape-Truth!

Summary of the eRumor:
A series of pictures of art objects said to have been made from ordinary Scotch tape.

The Truth:
The art shown in these pictures if from underground artist Mark Jenkins who has been featured in books like Street Renegades and Street World: Urban Culture and Art from Five Continents.

More of his work can be seen on his website at www.xmarkjenkinsx.com.

He is known for what he calls "street installations" using an art form called tape sculpturing. His creations are not made from Scotch tape but from packing tape (a reel of which is visible in one of the photos below).

He also has a website that teaches tape sculpturing at http://tapesculpture.org.

A real example of the eRumor as it has appeared on the Internet:

All of the "figures" in these photos are made from ordinary, clear Scotch Tape.
