Trace focuses on the action of human fingers, leading to the discussion of the role of their actions. Set within the folds of thermoplastic sheets, the fist-size aluminum objects suggest to be picked up and handled. This piece initiated my investigation into various modes of tactile interaction with sculptural materials.
The objects combine forms of cast fingers and biological references. The sequence of the four objects depicts the cycle of creation and recreation modeled after the maturation of a flower into a seed.
