DescriptionMaroon in color and bulbous in form. The organically shaped form, which is created by molten plastic extruded from the machine, is layered/stacked and fluid.With its bold, overlapping forms that flow in three directions, extending beyond and drooping over the pedestal edge, this Scumak conveys a gracious, expansive liquidity. A chute descends from the top of the mound to its lower right, evoking the speed and spirit of water slides and saucer rides down snowy hillsides.
