Nike Project by Dominic Wilcox
Dominic Wilcox was asked by Nike to design a series of works for their ‘Nike 1/1′ and ‘art of football’ projects.
‘Cave’ is a container for your most special football shoes. Instead of just dumping your prized footwear in the bottom of your wardrobe , place them in this bespoke shoe home made from model football players.
Cave’ by Dominic Wilcox
“Blocks’ by Dominic Wilcox
Material used;
13000 plastic footballers.
540 tubes of superglue.
50 tubes of plastic glue
‘Gluing the footballers was certainly a challenge. It became almost a meditative process. At one point I was in ‘the zone’ to the point that a super glue tube got stuck to the side of my finger yet instead of spending time removing it I picked up another tube and continued on.
Luckily I had much help from assistants including Mim and Roger who each have their own ‘favorite’ glue stories also.’
