Indian Derby Fiber Glass Animal Sculpture

This sculptural tableau stages a stark dialogue between containment and metamorphosis: charred, animal-like forms hang and rise against the plain geometry of a wooden rack, as if bodies are being sorted into objects, memories, or evidence. The matte darkness of the figures—creased with visceral, hand-worked textures—absorbs light rather than reflecting it, turning each silhouette into a void that intensifies the surrounding emptiness. Beneath, a bed of scattered paper resembles currency, labels, or discarded correspondence, suggesting the uneasy commerce of life and the bureaucratic flattening of the living into the countable. The work’s suspended heads and severed gestures read as a quiet indictment—an altar to what is consumed, commodified, and then forgotten.
