I’ve spread the filler horizontally and vertically, making a cross shape. I view this as a symbol of death, but I also connect the axes to the metaphor of river (vertical) and sea (horizontal) – life, death and rebirth. A work-in-progress video is available here, and a video presentation is available here.

Spread is a compilation of work made by spreading the filler along the depth of the rim with a scrape. Letting a single action shape the result is reminiscent of Richard Serra's Verb List. It functioned as a kind of manifest for Serra's way of producing sculptures. To spread is on the list. It's about making art by exposing a matter to different types of forces.
