Subtractive/Additive Project
Chrissy Eckman
This artist creates beautiful sculptures with flowers collected from the private gardens of
the most renowned landscape designers in Europe. They are held together without
adhesive of any kind. The artist weaved the flowers together on a plastic mold and then
added varnish simply to prevent moisture absorption.

Orl y Genger creates addi ti ve
installations by repeatedly knotting
single lengths of painted climbing
rope to generate bulk and form. The
hands-on process is similar to
knitting, but it plays on the
masculine macho required in the
industrial production of classic
Minimalist fabrication.

To Be Titled, 2012
Cement and stainless steel

This sculpture is made up of cast cement units with textures found from consumer
packaging, recycled cardboard, packing tape and molds that Mark Hagen made
from 47-year-old graffiti from a cement and coral stone wall. The vertical stacking
suggests layers or hierarchies that were built over time, but the modules within the
sculpture add an unfixed, nomadic quality to the permanent record behind the
layers. His work finds inspiration in the breakdown and complication of
hierarchies, history, and vision. They are as disoriented as they are ordered.

In this photo the left
side of the sphere is
slightly thinner after
being sanded down
(this one
looks like a
fish skeleton)
Here I thought I was
finished, but after looking
through my process photos I
decided that the rocks
added an important element
of unity to the form; the
values within them bring out
the color of the wire
backbone and make it
appear more intentional. I
also noticed from this image
that a black background
works well with the neutral
colors in my form so I chose
to add a black base.
