Non-Monumental Pedestal Project
"Excavation Formula"
Matthew Glowacki
plaster, latex paint
For this project, I worked extremely intuitive. I did nearly all subtractive method with mallet and chisel. I began by casting a plaster 5in. by 5 in. by 5 ft pole. I then carved away, into and through the plaster, much like some worm might have been squirming in the dirt, not thinking just digging. That is where I appropriated the title "Excavation Formula". I found that the resulting product of plain plaster wasn't enough. As an artist I wanted to embellish my project with un-natural like colors to whirl it into a different experience, that of not being a natural look. My goal was to strive for a unique balance between nature and man and that unique relationship.
Very clever presentation!
