Cast Rubber

Jumping back in time again, the following pieces evolved out of simple marker drawings I was making which both suggested and undermined simple spatial illusions (mostly by the unvarying thickness and consistency of the marker line). Liquid rubber was mixed with pigment and poured into simple molds made by dragging dowels through clay. With the exception of image 3 which hangs by dowels inserted into the rubber itself, the pieces all hang over nails driven into the wall.
