Nice Pairs

Nice Pairs is a series of three variations on wall-mounted sculptures that abstractly reference female breasts. Each uses a pair of projecting, wedge-shaped wooden supports, angled upwards out from the wall, on which hand-extruded silicone forms are arranged.

The silicone varies between bunched, overhanging loops, loosely draped strands and tightly coiled forms compressed against formers. The relationship between the material and its supports suggests different states of fullness, suspension and containment.

The title borrows from the familiar, casually objectifying expression used to describe a woman’s breasts.
