Seth Price

vacuum formed high impact polystyrene

Seth Price's *Vacuum Formed High Impact Polystyrene* exemplifies the artist's ongoing investigation into industrial production, consumer culture, and the aesthetics of mass reproduction. The work employs vacuum-forming techniques to manipulate polystyrene, a ubiquitous plastic material, transforming it into an object that blurs the boundaries between sculpture, packaging, and commodity. Price's practice consistently interrogates how meaning, value, and form are shaped by the processes and materials of contemporary manufacturing.
