Una obra preciosa que simula una fruta en descomposición, cubierto con cuarzos como el cuarzo rosa, cuarzo ahumado, ágata, labradorita y jaspe, una pieza muy bella 😍✨
Finishing out today's offerings is this remarkable object.
Artist Kathleen Ryan created this work in 2022. Called, “Bad Peach” (Bite), it utilizes numerous semiprecious materials including rose quartz, labradorite, agate, carnelian, jasper, and smoky quartz. There are also mother of pearl elements, scallop shells, glass and steel pins all on a polystyrene base.
Here is a quote from design boom about her work: “To make the fruit, Ryan begins with a large polystyrene base measuring up to 28 inches in width. From this starting point, the artist then paints on the patterns of colors that indicate which part of the lemon or peach will be rotten. The foam is then pierced with steel pins that hold the array of gemstones. From the lighter hues of the freshwater pearl to the deep forest green serpentine, the beads exquisitely convey the decaying flesh of the fruit.
