The Heavenly Corn Bounty (2018) Wood with Mixed Media
I got sucked into the affairs of the nation and failed to write a blog post, so here is a classic flounder sculpture I made back in 2018. The piece is a reflection on the heavenly golden staple crop maize which fuels and feeds our nation…but it also reflects on how strange, alien, and disconcerting corn is. The post is a way to highlight a sculpture which I made, but is also a reminder that I need to write more about maize here in the upcoming year! For good and for ill it really is a golden staple which holds the nation together.
Also, I chose that title back in 2018, and now I can’t remember why. Does anybody have any better suggestions? “Maize Place” maybe?
