Protean (A Resolution), 2022

 

Dimensions variable ​

​

Silicone, pigment, water-cut copper, copper vinyl, wood, copper rod,  copper ferrules, steel wire, hooks

​

These sculptures are made by casting water-cut copper within translucent silicone. As you move around them their opacity shifts, slowly revealing the copper inside.  

​

The material combination gives them strength and flexibility. Cast flat, they are formed through a process of bending. Each sculpture can be endlessly shaped and doesn’t have a fixed final form.   

​

They are installed in a copper walkway. As the viewer walks towards them, vibrations from footsteps cause the sculptures to quiver.
