Body Art for Your Consideration



I love this sculpture and would like to submit it as possible artwork for Body. It was brought to my attention by Mariah, (and the artist just happens to be Tamara).

The scale and shape of this sculpture are immediately eyecatching, but upon further examination, the work is nuanced and reads in many ways....it can represent bodily organs, splayed out for our examination. It references cells in the process of mitosis. It may be a growing tumor, the body turned grotesque and growing....(but I still see a sense of whimsy about its drooping, ballon-animal forms).

I know we will vote as a class on the final art exhibited. LET THERE BE A WEALTH OF RICHES....the more quality artwork we have to select from, the better the Body show will be.
