Cooking strainers are usually used to strain liquids off food products. It’s usually something we don’t take much notice of. Artist Isaac Cordal adds another purpose to strainers through his urban installation called Cement Bleak. He molds faces into the grids of colanders and places them by the sidewalk where shadows of the molded faces are projected. His plan is to try to make larger projection drawings using public light resources.
