Thinking about this artists use of connection- the many points of contact between the work and that which forms the shape. This soft skin like membrane is in line with thoughts i've been having lately about saliva, water, the presents of fluids in the body, the cyclical nature of the body and of the water sources of the world, and also the expelling of effluvia and how the action of expelling changes the meaning of the substance itself. I have been thinking about working with glass and resin, without much of an idea of how the use of the material fits conceptually with the work that i've been making, but maybe the falsely fluid quality of it could be a point of entry. It is in some ways problematic though, in that it is an unnatural material in a project that hinges on the use of natural, mineral materials.
