Iris Weave
Orrin Whalen’s Woven Sunsets series captures an essence of comfort and sensuality through the movement of material. On a technical level, there is more exploration of casting paint from silicone molds, picking up more definition of woven fabric and departing from the smooth almost “Laffy Taffy-like” pieces. Whalen uses resin casts and acrylic skins — literally the skin of dried paint — to give solid sculpture a feel of texture and fluidity as he explores new themes around woven textures. In a weave there is strength, togetherness, and community; if one strand is missing then our piece loses its strength.
