Pig intestine sausage casing on spray painted wire, found object wood with spray paint and found object metal
With this mixed media piece, I wanted to show some industrial vs organic. I used pig intestine and draped it over a wire from that exemplified a rib cage. These were then suspended by chain on a metal found object piece and also spray painted gray wood. My goal was to get as many interpretations as I could and I succeeded. My artist inspiration was Rhea Carmi and I was influenced by her the use of texture in her work. This led me to use the pig intestine. A success I had in this work was that I was able to successfully use pig intestine in art, but a struggle was the wire because I was not able to manipulate it the way I desired.
