These whimsical and lifelike sculptures question humankind’s dominion over the natural world. By enlarging and animating something as small and innocuous as an acorn, this work challenges the conventions of human scale and our tolerance for perceived unchecked and unnatural growth. Presented in a way that evokes a sense of realism with the majesty of the larger than life scale, “Magic and Loss” puts the viewer in a position of existing in a place that is both real and unreal.
