I am very happy to announce that my Digest Installation of the Villi series has been accepted in the "Wax Stories" exhibit at the Niza Knoll Gallery in Denver, Colorado. The show runs October 2~November 14 with an Artists Reception Saturday, October 10, from 5:00 ~ 8:00 pm.
Here is my "Wax Story" about these pieces:
Here is my "Wax Story" about these pieces:
"The
concept of these wax pieces is about Digestion, in its many forms. Focusing on the process of taking what your
body needs and disposing of the unwanted or unnecessary nutrients, I hope to
explore the idea of digesting in the mind and body. After completing my Masters degree at the
Maryland Institute College of Art, I found myself unpacking the things I
learned during the course of my studies and deciding what aspects of the
program were helpful and what parts were not helpful. I was, in fact, digesting the
experience. I took all of the textbooks
from the classes, tore out the pages, sewed and stapled them together into these
forms, resembling the villi that are found in human intestines that help you
digest food. These sculptures, 100 in
all, are the result of that exploration."
