Artist Statement:
In my sculptural Viral Series: Fruiting Bodies, I continue to explore death and regeneration taking place in deteriorating communities. Places and things, once bustling and animated, have succumbed to nature’s intentions. Without intervention, nature takes over and breathes new life into objects, and sculptures. Human busts, once pure and pristine, are hardly recognizable. They become tattooed with nature. Their heads grow leaves instead of hair. The faces scream out in pain – or perhaps pleasure – in the midst of transformation. Often used to represent life, nature instead becomes a parable for an alternative state – one where life and death intersect.
Care & Use: The protruding pieces are delicate and fragile. Please handle with care by the base. Sculpture is decorative only.
