Possible Showers Ben Hirschkoff Iron pipe, rubber, plexiglas, faucets
Artist's Statement:
Part of a series of works using mostly salvaged industrial metals, "Possible Showers" combines industrially engineered plumbing with dislocated, archetypal cloud forms cut from translucent rubber and acrylic glass, to poke fun at our understanding of natural phenomena as symbol and resource. The faucets convey a visual pun while also serving to reference the absurdity of simplifying nature to the role of utility.
