Fermentation Rig v2, 2023; pantyhose, PVC inflatable balls, beans, thread, epoxy; 60" x 24" x 12"
A soft sculpture with a somewhat haphazard vibe to it, perhaps made from discarded materials. Hanging threads from hand stitches contrast the machined pantyhose sheerness. Inflated PVC balls have been forced through the hosiery causing runs that have a pathetic yet hopeful “making-do” quality. The beans form hanging sacs that pull down. The sacs are covered in epoxy that has dripped into congealed tips. This is the second version, replacing balloons with PVC balls to be more resilient for exhibition.
