Slime Sculptures
I have been attracted to the forms of drips since I began as an artist. I admire the potential
these shapes hold. They are frozen in tension between their birth and the assumption of their
final form. The still image of this potential energy when placed, leaking from the ceiling, above
the viewer creates a vague metaphor of the mysterious awe and potential that exists in life
when one simply looks up.
I create the forms of the slime in a 3D Clay Modeling Software then print them out using PLA
plastic. The slime sculpture is then coated in an epoxy spread, sanded, and painted. Each
slime has the ability to be hung via a single screw or by non-damaging adhesive strips. The
base of the slime has special cut outs to take either the screw or the adhesive strips for a
sturdy and flat attachment to the ceiling.
