BEWARE!
That’s the message in what I’m wearing today: caution tape.
That’s the message in what I’m wearing today: caution tape.
Different colors of barricade tape indicate different
hazards. Yellow tape is used to caution against trip hazards and low hanging
objects. This is delightfully ironic as I trip over my own shadow and I am a
hazard to my own health! I’m quite accident-prone, constantly banging into
things. Could this date back to my first year, when I learned to walk after
crawling only briefly? It’s believed that babies who crawl longer develop
better spatial awareness, and I am lacking in that department. Or could it be
that I am thinking of so many ideas at once and don’t think to look up or down?
Either way, I’d do better if the whole world were padded and draped in caution
tape.
I have no idea how this idea planted itself in my brain but
I jotted it down months ago and ever since then I’ve been collecting caution
tape from trees and parks and places where caution tape was used. I don’t take
it when it’s still blocking off areas, only when it’s clearly been left behind.
You can buy a giant roll of this tape but that doesn’t interest me. I like
collecting found objects, and recycling things headed to the dump. Or making my
own.
Here’s the cost breakdown on today’s costume:
Caution tape found in public spaces $ 0
Yellow plastic tape (on clearance at the 99 cent
store) $ .40
Black clothing worn under the tape (already had) $ 0
Hot glue sticks $
.20
Pipe cleaners for hat $ .20
Sharpie $
1.00
I don’t know whether my message of caution is intended for
others, or as a reminder to myself, or is just a fun effect with lots of
contrast and surprise factor. Maybe all of the above. A win-win-win.
