Paint, shell, resin, and light

Rolling Risky Red brings together materials associated with different surfaces: aerosol and spray cans, automotive Kandy paint, crushed abalone shell, surfboard resin, license plates, and neon. The result is an object whose finish and physical depth matter as much as its square composition.

The shell and resin should be examined from more than one angle, while the neon introduces its own light source. Ask to see the work both illuminated and switched off. Those two views help a collector understand how the object will read during the day and after dark.

Planning a five-foot-square installation

The work measures 60 by 60 inches and projects five inches from its supporting plane. When choosing a wall, consider the projection as well as the width: circulation, reflections, and the position of surrounding furniture can all affect the viewing experience.

Before installation, confirm the weight, mounting hardware, power requirements, cable route, and access needed to service the illuminated components. Request a condition record covering the neon, resin surface, shell elements, and supporting panel. These details are specific to the work’s construction and should be confirmed rather than inferred from a photograph.
