EMILY CULVER- Wilting Bounty Neckpiece, 2011 rigid and flexible photopolymers 13” x 6.5” x 2.5” These two plentiful cirri, ripe with fruit, sag under the weight of their bounty. Presented in the moment as matured flora, this neckpiece has reached its peek of vibrancy before the quick decline of existence. Its soft gentle spines caress the neck as the weight of the wilting surplus can be felt upon the breast.
