Pigmented Polyurethane Foam on Panel<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

PU expanding foam is perhaps one of the most difficult materials to work with and control. This sticky froth is very unpredictable, growing and expanding for a couple of hours until it cures. The exposed skin of the material hardens in the first minutes, leaving the uncured center to expand and push the skin outwards, ending in a bulging shape.<\/p>\n

In my experience with thick paint, the brush and knife tend to make concave imprints on the surface.
\nFor years I wanted to create protruding strokes that better resemble the convex shapes of the face and head. Convexness is a prevalent property of \u201cbeing\u201d in physical space. It is a key issue when creating sculpture and painting that push for outward material existence.<\/p>\n

In these time-lapse videos I wanted to chart this expansion behavior over time. Creating with a medium that is eventually physical and conscious of the process of its own creation.<\/p>\n

This series is a first attempt at understanding the aesthetics and methods of working in this material. These techniques were developed alongside the projects of\u00a0@anahita.shahamati<\/a>\u00a0, who inspired me to make this series. This is a toxic substance and I am wearing protective gear, with studio ventilation in place.<\/p>\n
