GRID - January 2006

installation by Hyman

Carla Hyman
An Inhabitable Landscape, 2006
mixed media
approx. 4' x 8' x 4'

Within the 4' x 8' x 4' space is a sculpture of baled cardboard. The top surface is covered with rounds of fabric. Together this will create an inhabitable space, some sort of furniture, perhaps a series of benches as the shape of the body, resting, sitting, reclining, informs the way the cardboard is configured. The materials themselves are a manipulation of the "grid" concept. The cardboard's previous use was a box, holding various food items, and was en route to becoming a large 3 1/2' x 5' bale; to then be recycled into more standard cardboard boxes. The fabrics' previous use were bedsheets, designed around the conventional size of a mattress.
