The String Drum

Kobe Kase

Materials: 

- rubber bands, cardboard box, tacks


At first, I thought it would be impossible to try and create an object that could make music out of parts from home. I felt as if I didn't have any of the "right" resources I would need to accomplish this task. As I kept thinking about this, I start thinking about the material afterlife and decided I could make a guitar out of all of the used boxes my family had received. I then used rubber bans and tacks to create the strings for the guitar. This Project taught me more on the material afterlife and how I could re-purpose anything.
