C/O Sculpture

Current times have definitely been strange and even otherworldly at times. However, there has been reoccurring elements that, for me, have been "place" and "belonging". Place can manifest itself in many forms from the apparent to the surreal. The home as a traditional place may have transformed into a place of comfort and at the same time arrest. In the piece "C.O." (care of) the tiny traditional ranch home is almost enveloped by an alien/microbial landscape. Although this is an unnerving scenario, the familiar traditional house with a bright calming color gives a sense of calm and of a cherished place. Home. This is what I hope viewers will pick up on in this piece. After the initial sculpt and mold making process, I chose multiple casting sessions to ad multiple colors and patterns to give it a more biologically natural feel to the sculpture.
