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. Whimsical and delicate, the core stacking of this Scumak is neat and orderly. Only the top-heavy crowning layers slump to the left and right, disrupting the anticipated pattern of perfection. From the lowest curve of each slump, a wavering ribbon descends and pools on the pedestal surface, beautifully reestablishing order and symmetry.Copyright© Roxy Paine
