"Through these anthropomorphic and organic sculptures made of soil and wheat grass seeds, I strive to show that food, it's origin, it's transport, has an impact on us beyond it's taste. The power inside it affects every organ of our body. Observing nature and being aware of what and how we eat makes us more sensitive to food cycles in the world - of abundance, of famine - and allows us to be physically, intellectually and spiritually connected to a global reality."
These are amazing! How fun - it would be great to see these in person!

ReplyDeletefunny, i dont find them weird at all. all i see is art, but then again im so use to seeing art mixed with floral and grass media.
ReplyDeleteBrilliant! I'm so intrigued by the use of plants as an art medium, especially in such an unconventional manner. Totally inspiring.
