Poison Flower, with Garfish and Pinecone
Soda fired stoneware and translucent porcelain
approx. 19" wide
2016
The Poison Flowers are hybrids of original sculpted forms, and slip-cast and press-molded objects and textures from nature, which I have combined to suggest a ‘new’ organism. I also think of them as decorative arrangements, very similar to a floral arrangement. Flowers are often used to celebrate important moments of our lives, everything from love to death.
This flower was created using molds from: snake, fruit, pinecone, lace, garfish, tooled-leather, and wheel thrown objects
