Free Range is an installation of unique plaster forms cast from paper molds. The plaster imitates the paper, indicated by creases on the surface, while also recording the forces at play between the setting liquid plaster and the flexible mold.

In this process I looked to intersections of abstraction and representation. En masse and through repetition, the forms take shape – by depicting a flock, the chicken becomes apparent. I created a number of objects to surround and crowd the viewer, striking a balance between gallery display and organized storage. The tight quarters of the installation indicate not only the life of factory farm hen, but also perhaps a psychological landscape.
