Salt Water
Abe Abraham
I work with dancers to create abstract sculptural forms that evolve over time. Drawing on the processes of various sculptors, specifically those that exhaust the physical potential of a single material or object, I work to create an intricate mass that transcends the recognition of an individual body. To investigate this potential, the living sculpture is set up to respond to a dynamic range of conditions beyond its control, much in the way that weather patterns shift geological formations. Both planned and improvised variations of light placement, lens choice, camera angle, camera movement, and the dancers' dynamics are tools used to stimulate this process.
