Artist's Statement"The idea of casting Jell-O-like sculptures
came to me as a result of consciously trying to free my mind
from the traditional constraints of sculpture making. For me,
this work sums up the spirit of the times in a joyous, uniquely
American way, with humor, a never-before- seen sculptural presence,
jewel-like visual beauty, tactile sensuality and conceptual clarity.
For these reasons, and because of Jell-Os huge recognition
in the popular consciousness, I believe that the project would
generate substantial interest not only in the culturally sophisticated
art world, but among the public in general, children and adults."
"It is my belief that to fully realize the potential
of the concept, and to provide the viewer and his/her imagination
with a maximum sense of new experience, it must be executed on
a monumental scale."
Project BackgroundOver the course of many months of experimentation and testing, and with the help of numerous food scientists, chemists and gelatin manufacturers, I've developed a recipe for the creation of a substance which has all of the outward characteristics of Jell-O, yet, unlike real Jell-O, it does not mold, decay, spoil or melt at room temperatures.
