DeCordova Museum: (Sub)Surface

DeCordova Museum, Lincoln Massachusetts,  2003,  40ft x 7ft x 4ft,  hydrostone, fiberglass mesh, glass, polymer
For (Sub) Surface, dozens of hand-constructed, fictitious geological fractures were made in the studio and installed on site into the forty-foot high museum wall. By introducing plaster and glass sculptural elements to the towering surface, I created an illusion of impending tension rising beneath the surface, as if the forces of nature prove too great to be contained by the purity of the museum wall.
