Kristiina Lahde Wheel of Fortune 2006 Ethafoam and hot glue
From the website of the brilliant Hart House Installation Collective (hic)
That's very pretty actually...what an awesome use for the material and the effect the material makes huh? I thought it was a tire at first.
p.s. I think it's a crime that ficus tree is anywhere near the sculpture though...oh my god, move the plant away!
I agree the Gothic treads were cool but it was the foam that made it all insanely wonderful. (it's one of those pieces where as an artist I marvel over how another artist ended up with that)
Pimp my ride!
I saw that show- that tire was one of my favorites.
I always assumed they were machined (somehow with some machine thing they use to make gothic tire treads) but I was talking to Kristiina last night at the KWAG opening and she told me it was all hand cut. She made a long pattern based on the existing decoration at Hart house and started carving.
