Blue Drips

2018

12' x 5' x 3'

wire, brown glass bottles, string, watered own blue acrylic paint, unfired clay, plexiglass

Blue water, of varying shades, slowly drips unto dried cracked clay from bottles hung on the ceiling.  As the liquid drips on to the clay, it gradually deteriorates the clay, eventually exposing the plexiglass underneath.  The blue water dyes the clay surrounding the exposed plexiglass.  As more time passes, the cracked clay gets further coated in blue liquid.  By the time all of the bottles empty, nearly all of the clay is dyed blue.
