back to Clear Corner

On the exterior of a symmetrical three-sided corner form, with sides intersecting at 90 degrees, two-foot radii and a one-eighth section of a sphere, a three-foot wide length of heavy roving woven fiberglass cloth, laid-up at an off-vertical angle in relation to the form, wraps upward and over the top horizontal plane of the form assuming an asymmetrical inadvertently anthropomorphic gesture while simultaneously responding directly to the symmetry of the form on which it is shaped. Once saturated with resin, cured and removed from the form this casting is suspended as a translucent swatch, a skin that glancingly embraces a vast interior space. As fastened to the horizontally positioned rods held at midpoint as they pass through the rigid black steel tubes, this fragment remains still, anchored in space. The length of the supporting rods describes a mass absent here behind the skin. That portion of this casting that extended beyond its prescribed parameters is dyed purple.
