plaster, steel, acrylic, gelatine, variable installation

The scene recorded on this plaster surface focuses on the force of contraction produced as wheat starch paste dries on plastic. During drying, the material pulls against the surface, sometimes deforming its support and generating a temporary sculptural force. Having repeatedly experienced the fragility and breakage of flour-paste sculptures, I understood this discovery as a moment in which a vulnerable material transformed into one capable of exerting force, changing both its properties and its meaning.
