Testing Support This series of collages examines the relationship between the structure above and the structural support in swelling clay through acknowledgement of the weight supported above on thin contrived supports. Here the Tool for Testing the Soil is held in an upright position based on the model’s pose, being both highly contrived and relaxed at the same time.
