Dribbler (Entity Effigies Series?)

I’m not sure if this piece, which I’m calling ‘Dribbler’ (for obvious reasons), fits into my new Entity Effigies series. It has some connections to the pieces from that series but it also has a lot of similarities to my ‘Frankenstein’s Log’ sculpture and to my series of orifice sculptures.

At first viewing it might not be obvious but it probably has a lot more in common with my first ever orifice sculpture, simply titled ‘Orifice’, which I made back in 2002. ‘Orifice’ is a tall, thin, wall-mounted sculpture that looks like a white box with a pink carved orifice jutting out from the top section. The reason for this elongated shape is that my original idea for the sculpture was to have a dribble of resin pouring from the orifice (as is the case with ‘Dribble’) and travelling down almost the full length of the sculpture. In the end I decided that this looked too obvious and instead let the sculpture’s proportions suggest the possibility of the dribble, even if I was the only one who saw the suggestion.
