Squidgey sculpture feels like rolls of fat
Nick sez ,"This shows photographs of a recently completed sculpture, currently on exhibition outside the Fitzwilliam Museum in Cambridge. It's carved from a block of upholstery foam, and coated in a rubber skin, so when you grab hold of those rolls of fat you find they are actually soft. Some people are disgusted, others love it, but it's certainly provoking reactions. It's one of a series I'm making about the materiality of the human body."
Venus (Thanks, Nick!)
