Acrylic, Resin and Mixed Media on Cradled Wood, 20 x 20 x 2 in, 2026
“Greed and Want (Deadening Souls)”
The orb dispenses untold riches.
“Greed” - The soulless man puppet juggles the riches to himself, while small broken pieces drift towards and into the dying creature. Unbeknownst to the man puppet, a storm looms above. It threatens destruction.
“Want” - a double entendre. The dying creature wants the riches too. It suffers from hunger and want. What happens if it gets them? Or will the storm destroy them both first?
