Pile,  Plaster, Nylons, Wood, 17"x30"x28"

"Pile" features a stack of plaster-filled forms. Nylon barely contains poured plaster, allowing it to create a sense of volume, while releasing a significant amount to the exterior. This play on constraints is similar to the role of the tissue that holds bodies together. The results of a very messy and unconventional process provide great variation in tone and texture, allowing the materials to take center stage. The heaviness of "Pile" is emphasized by the wooden pallet, a symbol of the weight of our bodies and the potential for mobility despite it.
