Potato Séance, is composed of sculptures in various states of growth and decay. The pulp from juiced carrots — with turmeric, lemon, and cayenne — covers Carrot Ginger Elixir, to help it heal from inflammation. Harvested local moss — mixed with buttermilk — wraps around Untitled (Moss), in hopes of living on a new environment. Three heads sprout from Untitled (Sunflowers), with turnip-like cysts bursting from its body, mimicking germination; dried lion’s mane is sewn into a crown that adorns one of the heads, accompanied by 10-foot-tall sunflowers grown in my community garden plot last summer, which have died and dried up.
