Hole In The Wall
2025, Plaster and drywall, 48 x 48 x 16 in

View detail shots
Stretching and twisting a silicone mold allowed Cazares to make similar plaster casts with small differences. This deformation turned repetition into a way of generating new forms. The casts overlap on a circular drywall panel leaning against the wall, forming a dense surface of ridges and folds. Viewers may find a familiar pattern or image that Cazares never deliberately shaped. This is pareidolia: recognizing familiar images in unclear shapes, such as seeing faces in clouds. He wonders whether different people will see the same things, and what further patterns might lie beneath the surface. Above the panel, a circular opening exposes wooden strips and supports inside the wall. The circular opening marks the panel’s original place, showing its connection to the wall. Cazares turns his question about hidden patterns into a physical action, opening the wall to look beneath its surface.
Hole In The Wall was the first piece where I began to create forms by warping and stretching the silicone mold I was using. Mold deformation and a process of iterative casting has since become an important part of my practice. Layering similar but nonidentical pieces creates a sort of chaotic visual static, allowing unintentional patterns to emerge for those who tend toward pareidolia. This sort of effect is extremely interesting to me. Will people tend to see the same patterns, or different ones? If there are patterns hovering on the surface of the work, what patterns exist beneath it? The drywall beneath the piece needed to be removed, not to expose but to reveal the connections of that point in space to all others.
