Surface, Level / Good Guts
This work reconsiders the role of the plinth as an object that supports other works, such as buildings, sculptures, statues, etc., into surfaces or, more specifically, plates. The project proposes the de-lamination of the plinth as an object into surfaces that work between drawing and model to re-see the plinth and its surfaces not as a final work but as a material site that instructs, levels, and repositions. The plate's four flip mill models are between drawing and model, using the CNC mill to inscribe the work with annotations, coordination notes, and stacking instructions.
Surface, Level was exhibited at the Wedge Gallery in Burbank, CA, as part of a group show titled “Good Guts.” The plates were shown with four instruction drawings and line weight test models.
