I have been developing a new body of work using rammed earth:
The works started as wax maquettes:
Which were then scaled up
Form work was made of plywood
Layers are colour coded
The first completed sculpture was Earth Time:
I then experimented with adding Iron Oxide Pigment to give a red colour
And more complex formwork
Disruption
I discovered the form work and baking paper on the bottom of the sculptures had amazing traces of earth left on them:
My studio was full of earth
More works followed which investigated rotating the layers relative to the horizontal and the relationship between the form work and the sculpture.
