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.
