POWER GUMBALL
20 X 11 X 4 INCHES, METAL, ACRYLIC SHEET, PLASTIC, GUMBALLS
The ReStore in Gainesville, GA. sells new and used furnishings, furniture, appliances, windows, doors and other building materials to the public at a fraction of the original cost. Funds generated through ReStore are used toward Habitat for Humanity of Hall County to help build affordable, decent housing in nearby communities.  
​The challenge was to use materials found at the ReStore to create original artwork to be auctioned off at the Re-Hatched Artist Market and proceeds donated to Habitat for Humanity. I got an electrical switch box and turned it into a gumball container/dispenser. Black and red gumballs were added to match the colors of the switches and also went well with the gray metal. Red electrical caps added accents on the end of the black wires. Red and black is popular in here because of the Georgia Bulldogs. The title, "Power Gumball" is a reference to the "Power Ball" lottery which uses a machine that selects numbered balls live on TV. Images below show the transformation in progress.
