"Slug March: March of the Slugs"
12"x11"x11"
Aluminum, Stoneware, Oil Clay, Sand, Wood, Found Object
Starting this project, I wasn't exactly sure the direction I was going. I had just started off sculpting forms out of oil clay to see the direction it goes. Eventually I ended up making several nudibranch slugs out of various materials and placed them a clockwork pattern in a mock pet store aquarium setting. Overall the piece was mostly me just making forms that were enjoyable to mold.

Inspiration/Research
"Ten minutes of observation is a long time for a person and this idea of slowing down and really observing I think is a really interesting idea for visual art" -Sarah Sze for Art 21.

Much of her work are site projects and installments as she's interested in public art that's woven into the surrounding environment. She often puts the site where she is working on a project into heavy consideration into how the sculptures will live in the site and does extensive research in the the area where the site is located. She currently lives and works in New York, New York.
