When Bosco Sodi was a child playing on the beach he would pour drops of wet sand on top of one another to create unpredictable organic forms. Inspired by these early sculptures, Sodi began to collect the leftover materials from his paintings (sawdust mixed with pigment and white glue). Layering these studio residues on top of each other, day after day, year after year, they began to resemble something like the stalagmites in ancient caves. In 2012 Hurricane Sandy hit New York and Sodi's studio was flooded with 6 feet of water. Everything was destroyed except for the sawdust stalagmites. Unsure of how the deterioration caused by polluted salt water would progress, Sodi quickly decided to cast each one in bronze, destroying the original in the process.
