formless II

after doing the formless test, i wanted to see the effects of releasing the Rockite mixture into a liquid. i thought that by releasing the mixture and stirring the liquid i would achieve some sort of dynamic form. however the mixture very quickly sank to the bottom in clumps--i found it interesting that the properties of the oil kept the (very liquid) Rockite mixture from becoming a singular plane. i would still be interested in trying this again if i could find a more dense liquid and somehow make the concrete mixture less dense--allowing a bit of buoyancy.

this "oil formwork" also creates a strange, and perhaps unsettling effect...

materials: Rockite mixture, canola oil
