Billy Dickerson Sculpture

BIlly is a Resident Director for a Suite on campus. He organized an art show of student work and decided to make a piece using Corian®. Billy is not an art student but frequently participates in art events, and we all applaud him for being adventurous.



Jason Windman sculpture

Jason created a sculpture one could enter. Strips of Corian were used to create a pattern.



Elliott Kayser Milk Bar

Elliott chose to use Corian® in a traditional manner for his Senior Show. Elliott created a milk bar, serving variety's of milk to visitors in his hand crafted ceramic vessels. Corian® was inset with a wash basin where Elliott meticulously cleaned away.

Sam Newman Sculpture

Sam created a waterproof container, thermoforming Corian® to the profile of a body. This was inset into an old matress. Water cascaded into the void, and video was projected onto the water. The sound is as it was heard in the installation.

Benches for the Alfred Plaza

The benches for the Alfred Plaza are underway.



Two holes are drilled into each piece of Corian® flashing to accept a 2" galvanized pipe for structural support. The pieces are spaced by a failed Estee Lauder promotional bracelet, rescued from the business waste stream by the Hudson Valley Materials Exchange.



The benches will most likely be clad with a composite decking material. They will be virtually maintenance free for the next 25-30 years, which should be a relief for the Village of Alfred department of Public Works.
