Andy Holden: Form and Materials

I noticed these sculptures by Andy Holden on Pinterest. I wasn't able to find much reading about them but I did find that they are made out of plaster and paint which is interesting. Much like my work, the pours appear free-forming, bulging or spewing over uncontrollably. It looks like he has done quite heavy pours as the mass of each layer looks quite thick- as shown in the cut section of it leaning to the left. It's likely he paints the forms after to produce a quality about them that isn't identifiable what material has been used.

It reminds me of sweets or chewing gum. In other works sometimes the sculptures are top heavy which is interesting. I have never really worked with plaster in this way but might think about doing so. However it is very difficult and messy to achieve this kind of control with it. Plus these sculptures must weigh a ton.
