EXERCISE 7 PT 2

GROUP MEMBERS: Allegra, Clara, Anoushka

We flipped our casts to play with the gaps created in the middle to make generally smaller shapes. Our interest lay in adapting the concrete--we added color, we added bubble wrap for additional texture. Some of the color didn’t work (I’m looking at you, green) but overall, we made some fun objects.

This move to cast our foam speaks to Allen’s idea of the “trace” that we read about in that the final product (the cast) holds traces of the original form-work, the concepts of color and texture we hoped to imbue in them, etc. Though, like Allen points out, the process of construction destroyed some trace (bits of the concrete broke and crumbled).
