Blu Tack Art

My attention was drawn today to this scuplture which is currently on display in the Department of Physics at Maynooth University. The artist and subject are unknown (to me) and the work is not dated, but the material is clearly Blu Tack, a putty-like pressure-sensitive adhesive commonly used to attach lightweight objects to walls, doors or other dry surfaces.

  1. This is fascinating — I love that something as everyday as Blu Tack can be elevated into sculptural art. Makes me wonder about all the “mundane” materials around me and what hidden artistry they could inspire.
