The basis of the form study was the shape-determining power of regulating wires and the influence they had on a flexible material. A square of latex sheeting was adhered to wooden board, forming a relatively air-tight pocket. Taught metal wires were strung above the latex sheeting, which was then inflated around the wire arrangement. The resultant bulbous forms were then cast in plaster. The latex, a tensile surface, thus provided a framework for the creation of the plaster shell, a compression form. The differing wire arrangements produced a series of plaster casts that varied in their spatial variety and structural integrity.
