sculpture; wood, glue, gauze, paint

This piece was created for a show that displayed every submission under black light. Drawing from vintage spirit photography and the notion that what that emotions can harm us from the inside out, Clearance sought to explore what happens if we purge too late.
I had hoped to push the duality of seeing the piece in normal light versus the UV. It could live on its own without any revelation, but when subjected to the alternate waves it displayed a more intense depth.
The piece was built almost entirely out of wooden twigs and branches, supplementing wood pulp for additional detailed areas. The use of wood lent itself to the idea that the body would be kindling in this proposed scenario.
