This is a piece that I’m working on currently. An Octopus cast in resin. An earlier octopus I did last year can be seen in a previous post.
Octopus, Resin
The surface of this table is the preserved agar plate that was used to grow a series of Physarum Polycephalum, or “Slime Molds” (single celled organisms that grow in tree-like systems while searching for food). The cells that grew (and are preserved) on this table were used in a video installation piece. Here’s a short clip, a segment of a 9 minute video loop:
Resin, Agar, Physarum Polycephalum
Chair by Dan Baker
Encaustic Wax, Resin
This was a project that Evan Collier and I did for the WIP club, for Arch Production and Design (arch-nyc.com)
The base is a platform of broken mirror encased in resin. The bathtub is filled with water and there is a fountain of water that pours out of the four bottles overhead. The inside of the platform and the bottles is decked out in radio controlled, color changing LED’s, which strobe and trips your eyeballs out.
The Great Haoyan of America included part of this in his facsimile publication which is here and it’s always exciting, if you don’t already know
