Slabb: White

Conservation grade silicone, cured unattached, tempered glass, mdf, varnish. 'Slabb: Grey' in the same series has recently been awarded the Pangolin Digital Sculpture Prize. More details on artist's website. Using a freehand extruding, squeezing process, the silicone is 'drawn' with to build a condensed form to create a greater surface area of contact and compression as the silicone oozes forth and settles on a flat surface. This outcome is exaggerated by the use of purpose built 'formers' to its sides, which are compressed in as a second stage to provide adjacent flat surfaces and add an additional squeeze of the silicone mass into the final form.
