Artist creates invisible car.

Art student Sara Watson has found the ultimate way of avoiding traffic wardens
– by making her car invisible.



The 22-year-old student at the University of Central Lancashire spray painted
a battered Skoda Fabia to match the car park and entrance to her art studio.

Her work, created as part of her drawing and image making course at the
university, creates the illusion that the car is see through.
She was given the car from a breakers yard and worked for three weeks to
ensure that it blended perfectly with its surroundings.

"I was experimenting with the whole concept of illusion but needed
something a bit more physical to make a real impact." said Miss Watson,
who is from Ashton under Lyne.

"People have been stopping in the street to look and coming up and almost
bumping into it, so it's had the desired effect."

The car is reminiscent of the work by pavement artist Julian Beever, whose
attempts to trick people's minds into seeing perspective on the flat
surfaces of paving stones.

Steve Jackson, owner of Recycling Lives, the firm that gave Miss Watson the
car, said: "When I first saw the photos I was convinced it was
something which had been done on the computer, but when you look more
closely you see the effort and attention to detail she has put into it. It
is just amazing."



Thats cool !!

I am sure that some wag will comment that it is probably the best thing to do with a Skoda really!!
