Sculpture, Metal on Plastic
Size: 36 W x 38 H x 18 D in
Ships in a Crate
I call the pieces, which stand a little over 38 inch tall, “Blue Coral.” These sculptures have something that makes art more than just an aesthetic physical item—it has a lively past. Because “Blue Coral” has shape-shifted numerous times, the piece boasts a unique narrative—complete with twists and turns, and stories of journeying across the country. In December of 2018, the sculpture, in its digital form, was selected for Art Basel Miami. The sculpture is made from my silicone sculpture pieces that I created and showcased across the country as dresses at New York Fashion Week , Pier59 studio, Los Angeles fashion Week and were used in numerous photo shooting and music videos. After all these events, I melted the silicone pieces- dresses together and the result is three sculptures titled Blue Coral. As a sculptor I started to use silicon because I was fascinated by this material and it strongly reminded me of the nature of New York city, where I live. In this city, everything seems so organic like you are in the jungle but everything is man made - often a toxic prototype of our existence. Silicone was a perfect material. I could shape it and work with it almost like a drawing, it looks completely organic and reminds me of a fragment of wild nature. Except it's not organic at all. It has become my favorite material that fulfills all my desires. I love the process of working with it. At the beginning it's really almost like a 3D drawing, then comes the sculpting part, when you shape it and the final step is painting and coloring the final piece.
