Nature of Things is a series of installations devised to observe the gradual becoming and disintegration of things. Sculptural objects made with natural, organic, biodegradable materials, including waste flowers, shellac, beeswax and resin, and, occasionally, cooking flour, sugar or sand provide a field for experimentation that took as a starting point a critical commentary on the ideas of consumerism and planned obsolescence that adds to the culture of waste. The Perishable Tapestry reinterprets traditional painting, using shellac and clay instead of paint. Real botanical elements that reference the vast topic of landscape add a bas-relief effect to the composition.
