78 Impressions of a Single Object

Installation

This work consists of 78 plaster impressions of a bone-like sculptural form. The work relates to the repetitive process of culturing cells. Although the impressions are of a single object, they are all unique as the resulting shape was determined by the angle of the object during the impression process, the amount of pressure applied and the dryness of the plaster. Over time the original object also changed, due to plaster adhering to its surface.

This work responds to the cell culture process, as well as the notion of continual transformation and ‘becoming’ based on interaction with the world.
