Aging Woman, 1974
plywood and plastic
16 x 16 x 4 in

The piece Aging Woman was made by laminating 3 identical blocks of plywood and plastic. Each block was then cut with two simple band saw cuts. The six units were then put together in the final form. This piece was an exercise in negative-positive form, in which there is no waste of material and a minimum of time spent to gain a product.

The mission of the South Carolina Arts Commission is to promote access to the arts and support the cultivation of creativity in South Carolina. We envision a South Carolina where the arts are valued and all people benefit from a variety of creative experiences.

A state agency created by the South Carolina General Assembly in 1967, the SCAC works to increase public participation in the arts through grants, direct programs, staff assistance and partnerships in artist development, arts industry, arts learning, creative placemaking, and folklife and traditional arts. Headquartered in Columbia, S.C., the SCAC is funded by the state of South Carolina, by the federal government through the National Endowment for the Arts, and other sources.
