Slotted Potato Piece
1995
sealed dried potato
30 x 60 x 35mm
This remains one of the more successful of the early pieces
as far as I'm concerned. The constituent sheets in the piece
are between 1-3mm thick, the whole thing is quite delicate.
As the moisture content in the material has settled to that
of its environment, each sheet has bowed slightly, confounding
my careful measurements and construction.
The surface patterns on the material are in part inherent to
the material, part inherited from the presses used during the
drying process. A shellac sealer gave a slightly matt finish.
