Orange, (4/13)
2015-2017 Clear melted sheet of hot glue with a bandage on the top corner held to a piece of styrene painted with red paint was taken home from studio. While cleaning, I put it outside on my window ledge to get it out of the way, but then, forgot about it. It remained outside in the sun, wind, rain, and snow for about 6 months. One day it became warm and I opened a window and found the object. The red paint had fallen away, returning to the white styrene.The clear hot glue had become yellow; white pillow filling became orange after orange house paint spill. For some reason, it also later partially turned green; white pillow filling became orange after orange house paint spill. From repeated rubbing, the orange paint has begun to disappear and the filling is turning white, again; white lid to missing clear container became orange after orange house paint spill.The orange house paint is beginning to flake away. The orange paint grips the lid so fragilely. At any moment, it will fall away and return to white; white piece of blue lined notebook paper that is stained to yellow; white cup printed with red diagonal lines filled with beige paint; white piece of book with black text, most of the text has disappeared from repeated rubbing, words remaining: “splat”, “cross”, “side”, “place”, “see”, “each side”, “each spaced”, “then”, “Finally”; yellow inner filling to a pillow that someone cut in chips with what appears to be scissors judging from the sharpness of the lines; yellow, ripped strip of spray foam; yellow, cracked piece of hardened wood glue; yellow-orange patch of foam stained brown from dust; orange house paint dried— becoming a slightly darker orange; orange top part of mango bag …put in plaster. |
