Flux Series: Corrode

February 9, 1999

Creating

Simulated time lapse of a gel environment. The actual metal parts suspended within the gel took over six months to form calcite and eventually sink to the bottom of the container.

A close-up photo of the corrosion of this piece later became one of the large 5’x4’ duratrans acrylic light box pieces in consume|produce. This piece was part of my gel and time-based work in sculpture.

Artist: Emily Chang
Type: Mixed media sculpture (gel, metal lock parts, acrylic container, sealant).
Exhibited: Center for Perceptual and Exploratory Art (CEPA) Gallery, Buffalo, NY, 2000.
