Various Solutions are 3-dimensional sketchbooks exploring the classical states of matter (gas, liquid, solid). The work physically and visually illustrates the science concept of solutions. Images and objects take the place of instructional text. The books are made of lead, which is both the softest and heaviest of metals. Its malleability and very low strength tests our understanding of solid metal. It is described as a moderately active metal, as a heavy metal that dissolves slowly in water.
