Still live, 2010

Unfired clay, 260 x 290cm

Still live was the other one of my works in the Glasgow School of Art Degree Show. The floor of the room, that in the early days of the Mackintosh building used to be the live sculpture model´s changing room, was covered with 400 kilos of clay. While the clay was still fresh and soft I made toe prints on it. Following installation the clay had a life of its own – it started to dry, shrink, crack and change colour to lighter gray. The process continued through the exhibition.
