Product Description
A dead ant rests over a leaf after being taken over by a parasitic Cordyceps fungus (portrayed by a Tillandsia butzii). The flat carcass serves as a vessel for long-reaching limbs of new life. This type of fungus can infect and ant and rewire its brain to better serve the parasite, as it slowly drains the life from the insect and spreads further. This sculpture tries to capture the dread and beauty of this cycle.
The Samsara Series of glazed porcelain planters is composed of sculptures of organic shapes that act as fossilized vessels for new life. The various forms echo ideas of life, death, and the cycles of nature. Husks, bones, shells, pods, carcasses, they all carry the power of something no longer living but able to sustain new life in a cradle of fertile soil.
