Consumables (11092024)
Part of a series of sculptures exploring the literal and figurative power of the sun. Symbolic objects like emblems, and in this case, a house key, are cast from perishable or organic materials like butter, shea butter, and chocolate. These items are preserved in a display refrigerator powered by a battery system that has been charged up using the sun. Perishable symbols that would normally melt in the sun, now rely on it to maintain their form.
