‘Consumed’ (2021).
…for Cronenberg.

Wax sculpture, bees*, hornets*, glass, dried roses, acrylic paint, wood, metal, glass.

Inspired by David Cronenberg and his novel of the same name.
“My left breast is a bag full of insects. I don’t know why it’s attached to me, I would like very much to… disconnect it. You can have it afterwards, if you like. I know you’re fond of it.” (pg. 203)
“…Because my breast is very much like a wasp nest, and you’d think they’d be comfortable in there.” (pg.204)

*bees and hornets were ethically sourced, died naturally and not bred for human purposes.
