Cast Expansion Works

This series returns to an earlier idea about the expansion of body-space that was first explored in Fruit, Body and Earth (all 1991/93): moulds that were expanded by consistent amounts until they became simpler fruiting bodyforms. The process of adding skins to the work was first used in Land, Sea And Air I (1977-79), where through the careful pigmentation of each subsequent layer of plaster, I attempted to find a point of tension between representation and generalisation.
