Camouflage Chaos is about creativity with intent. Here are the sculptures we’ll be using as backgrounds. I want everyone to wear/bring colors (clothes/fabric/whatever you can think of) that either match or contrast the colors on the sculptures. Example: The basketball court is red and blue. I could wear something red to match and get an interesting portrait or I could bring an orange sheet and contrast colors and textures - the options are vast and that’s the point! I want to see everyone arrive with something in their minds to create. Looking forward to seeing what you come up with!!

Thanks!
