Plaster-based installation: raw casting studio
Inspired by the categorisation systems we use on a daily basis. Focusing on the Hierarchy of Taxonomy, a categorisation system created by Carl Linnaeus. Mixing the concept of categorisation with the mass production of casted plaster books to create an interesting visual, combining fine casting plaster and coarse wall plaster.
However, when you look within the box, you see this true to itself raw casting studio, allowing you to read the piece as I believe the box will speak to people on different levels, more likely depending on where you sit the Hierarchy of Taxonomy.
This piece has been a labour of love and dedication to the raw material of plaster. Please read this piece how you will, as it may speak to you on different levels due to certain circumstances within your life.
