Twombly

Cy Twombly Untitled 2001

this sculpture is a recent obsession of mine. it's currently on display in Cy Twombly: The Natural World at the Art Institute of Chicago. for me, the merging of conflicting ideas in this piece are really what interests me: celebration/funeral, death/life, and the acceptance of this conflict as part of being human.



this last photo is of some scraps in my studio: a found and faded piece of a lei or streamer, 2 used gold twist-ties, splatters of acrylic paint and a candy flower made by my mom
