Dustin Yellin does not suspend exotic crimson seaweed inside his freestanding resin columns — it just looks like it. What he does do is actually more fascinating than the idea of frozen deep-sea organisms. Over the course of weeks, even years, Yellin builds up each column, layer by layer, using colored inks suspended within the resin — drawn in — and thereby showing what it looks like to draw in both the third (space) and fourth dimensions (time). The resulting pieces are spectacular constructs full of volume, lavish detail, and rich color, illustrating not only the tangible manipulation of time and material, but of the artist's own life.
