A piece of dough kneaded over time. Each turn of the dough produced a new form that was then photographed. The first three Organisms are associated with the three arrangements of The Bakery of Blok and the Three Forms of Unit. Within the installation the fashioned wooden objects are seen as the result of an authorial intention projected from within the form, as if the interior thoughts of the dough have materialized into wooden sculpture.
Referencing the structure of metaphor created for The Bakery of Blok, dough operates as a stand in for the subjects of memory and pure thought. Each turn/handling of the dough develops a different form from a material that is continually absorbing memory through touch. A kind of organic production of a sculptural form that is contingent on use. One idea/thought for one photo.
