The idea of using Jell-O as a sculptural medium came to me as a result of consciously trying to free my mind from the traditional
constraints of sculpture making. Over the course of a year of research, experimentation and testing, and with the help of numerous
food scientists and chemists, I developed a recipe and technique for the creation of a unique Jell-O-like material. This new substance
has the look, feel and scent of real Jell-O, yet is non-perishable with indefinite longevity.
"It is my belief that to fully realize the potential of the concept, and to provide the viewer's eye and imagination with a maximum sense of
new experience, this work must be executed on a monumental scale." Though this work remains unrealized at the very large scale, its
thermo-reversibility (from liquid to solid and back again) and its' cast-in-place cooking, molding and de-molding processes make it
interesting to consider as a traveling museum show.
