The hollow, blue pod in this piece was created by slush casting tinted resin in a mould of the same form. A small window was then cut out to accommodate the yellow resin. The yellow acrylic sheet in the centre is heat formed over a series of steel and wooden forms to give it its arced shape. The sterling silver accent was formed in conjunction with the curves of the acrylic, tension fitting perfectly into each other.Gradated hues of expandable foam flow in opposite directions that converge at the centre of this piece, creating a simulated feeling of mid-air suspension.Photo credit: Aleena Derohanian

“Have you ever thought about what it would feel like if you were being abducted by aliens? This sculpture is my personal interpretation of what it would feel like being whisked away by ~the other kind~ (scary!)”
