in search of acetone oceans

After 10 years of working in the mold making and casting industry, I've had the opportunity to witness the interactions between a wide variety of polymers and solvents used in the production of petroleum based sculptures, but also the waste streams involved in fashioning these objects.  In Search of Acetone Oceans is an intimate series of miniature landscapes which expose the intense visual beauty of waste processes througha series of chemical reactions.
