3” across
1.5” deep

The largest organ of the human body is skin (20 square feet). This piece is really small about 3” wide. I am interested in clay in its various states. When it is still wet it can breathe and grow. In this situation it is growing mold. I am watching to growth of mold as it increases and then as it slowly deteriorates. I’m really interested in mold or other growing materials that can constrict or manipulate clay but also on the other side of that allow material to encourage growth that I have no control of. There is this cycle of growing and dying much like human existence. The pieces are continuously evolving.
