American Beauty , 2005

reclaimed southern yellow pine, used dental drill bits, found steel table, spindles from discarded Harvard chair.

On one level this piece demonstrates roles in reverse. The plant has become the carnivore; the dental drills have turned to fangs and teeth; the back-supporting spindles have been re-incarnated as legs. On another level it is a mirror for our recklessness: we discard and trash objects of value and consume living things to the verge of extinction.
