Object Acquisition #77- 300.4.18 Facial Casts

Documenting objects from The Hunt Show:

Object Acquisition # 77- 300.4.18

Object interpreted and Statement by Ben Rood

When I first approached my objects at the Oregon Health and Science University I got the feeling that early science often gives me, the creeps. The plaster casts of facial deformities were crudely assembled and displayed. The molds were coated with a pinkish wax and bits of eyebrows were stuck to them, mounted like medical trophies I couldn’t help being semi-repulsed. I was looking at human faces but to me they did not at all feel like they were human. In response to these objects I created a body of work that examined and abstracted natural structures. A series of small mixed media paintings on board mounted in frames. The level of abstraction forces the viewer to closely examine the paintings but never offers any answer as to what or why. The idea is to create both attraction and frustration, much like I felt looking at the original objects.

"To Toil"

The combined focus of exploring a material and manipulating its intentioned use to create an object is my main motivating factor for art making. It also is about the ability of this process to drown out the continuous cluttered noise of the modern world. For me the act of making is about creating ones own rules. Following instincts and impulses as well as a believing in the existence of visions and epiphanies. 

Note from the curator:

I just want to point out that Cross created this fabric by continually sewing over a clear material that dissolves in water. She then cut this amazing piece to create her sculpture.

Object Acquisition # 77-1.1.34 Amputation Kit

Object Acquisition # 77-1.1.34 Amputation Kit

Object interpreted and Statement by Amanda Wall-Graf

"Phantom Limb"

A majority of amputees suffer from Phantom Limb Syndrome: while their appendage may be severed, their brain has not yet caught up to the current situation. They can still feel their missing limb, itching, getting wet or, more often than not, in pain. It's there, but not quite right.


I was inspired by the disquieting amputation kit in OHSU's collection to make a piece that explored the aftermath of such trauma. "Phantom Limb" considers the relationship between the lost extremity and the neural networks that must renegotiated.
