interdisciplinary critique

Course #608

I am interested in profiles: specifically the way in which three-dimensional forms are represented two dimensionally. In this work I buried a grouping of distinct wooden forms in plaster. In places the wood is visible through the side of the cube but mostly the form is hidden inside the plaster.
Two opposing sides of the cube reveal graphic patterns – a series of lines and squares. The two sides are distinct which suggests a transition obscured by the plaster. This work plays with ideas of concealment, fragmentation and architecture. These pieces point toward our built environment. Like this work our domestic environments are primarily composed of plaster and wood in the form of drywall and 2 x 4 framing.
