Art of decay

With the onslaught of school starting last week, my blogs may become less frequent and more visual.



Here is some work by Anya Gallacio who employs natural materials to create her installations. Her work usually changes over the course of time. One of her more famous pieces is "Red on Green" (pictured below) A blanket of a 10,000 roses installed at an exhibit are left to rot and decay over the length of the showing. "Because nothing has Changed" (also below) is similar and utilizes apples roped to an up-rooted tree installed in the gallery. Over time the apples rot and fall off..


i dont think a detailed explanation is needed in regards to what this makes me think of, how i feel about, etc...




enjoy:

















In order:" Red and Green", "because nothing has changed"(x2), "beat"
