Deconstructing modern materials to achieve a rough elemental appearance involves removing material, staining the remaining piece, and heat forming it to a final shape. This is a piece of foam core PVC pipe that has been treated to see what kinds of non geometric forms are possible.
The foam core is exposed by the removal of the outer shell and takes the stain differently than the more impervious surface.
Heating the material in the stain bath allows the piece to be formed on a mold in a single overlapping spiral form.
7 1/2" (191 mm)
The stain is a mix of water based dyes in which the PVC was cooked for several hours.
