What is it?
The shell of “Hammond BIVALVE” is constructed on a Hammond aluminum enclosure with many layers of beeswax, soy wax, and mixtures thereof.
By peeking through its open lid, a slow-motion view of ocean waves on a tiny LCD screen can be seen reflected in its pearl-like interior.
This is a portion of “Sweet Old World,” a 10-piece collaboration with Ceci Cole McInturff. Each artist created five of the ten pieces and contributed five pieces of material, “assigning” the other artist several pieces of unfamiliar base material to use.
