Title: "Wormfood" - 2009 Size: 38" x 17" Medium: poplar wood, oils, plastic grass • SOLD
"I'm veering into signage with this one I suppose. But cultural aphorism's often amuse me, and I thought that this expression "Worm food" was quite a loaded & visual one. It's two simple words that launch a complex & profound question. - Of all the wood pieces shown on this site, I've observed that it is this one that most puzzles viewers. Some folks are lead right to laughter, others appear uncomfortable with the bold, yet ambiguous message. Just what is the artist saying here? Is this a religious put down of atheism ... or an atheistic skepticism towards notions of the after life? - I'll let you decide.
----- In signage parlance... I'm merely "advertising" my participation in one of the timeless mysteries of life."
