Nested


Nested, rope, paper, plaster, resin, metal coating, patina, wax
 
I'm continuing to explore the tethered relationship between two forms (ie, sculpture-on-a-rope). A dual male/female shape and its sperm-like offspring. The two shapes in this piece can physically nest together or dangle in a playful dance. I've been thinking about familial fetters, from the umbilical cord to both seen and unseen traits that bind us once that visible tie is severed.
