Drawing on some of the oldest sculptural processes (carving, shaping, casting), the work departs from classical representations of idealized bodies and proposes a visual language that is stylized, surreal, and emotionally charged.\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eIn ‘Meld Fishies’, ‘Morph Horsies’, and ‘Stack Fishies’, the forms are inflated, primitive, and hybrid. Shapes of horses and fishes blend into one another, their outlines thickened, their identities blurred. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe resulting figures appear fused and sometimes comically, sometimes grotesquely, evoking a sense of tragic absurdity. Beneath the playful exterior lies a reflection on how the animal form is both glorified and exploited. Through this fusion of ancient technique and contemporary sensibility the work references the past while speaking to the present.\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eAdd to quote to receive a final invoice including insured shipping, crating, and delivery to your destination.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMade to order.
