RACHEL ARA
NEXT PROJECT

High Clone

Previous |  Next in Series
High Clone  |  1994  |  Latex, Wood and Motor  |  90cm x 150cm (35" x 59")
Latex stretched across board, motorised text slowly pushes backwards and forwards in a gentle slow pulsating motion.

Studio tests of the work being reupholstered for the
​Queering Minimalism show in 2017 - 23 years later

Context

These works were done in the early 90's whist the HIV/AIDS virus  was rampaging through the gay community.  There was a strange mixture of sex and death before turning to anger.  A strange time to be in and hard to describe.

A special thanks to 4D rubber who not only sponsored this project when I was a student in 1993, but agreed to sponsor the latext 24 year later!
