“I was particularly excited on days in which the studio became so packed with objects you couldn’t see the floor anymore. That meant that a material “purge” was coming, and that a new material cycle would begin the following day.
”
During Bat-Ami Rivlin’s time at RAIR, she created and documented a series of photos which show the evolving and changing of 7 different sculptures using discarded materials found in the waste stream. She described the assemblages to be as if they were “growing” into other forms. The result of this work is titled, UNTITLED (7333 MILNOR), which is a sculptural waste ‘flip book’ that showcases the sculpture growing, overflowing, disappearing, and then starting up again as the materials accumulate for another cycle.
