STONES & BONES EXHIBITION - BIRTE HELLA August 21 2009 to August 26 2009 | 12-12AM Daily | Art Bar In The 'Hunger Series', I strive to achieve the full impact of the process of consumption and, thus, of being consumed, by alluding to the act of slaughter. The 'kill', (humane or not so), that is an accepted 'act' necessitated by the need to survive, enabling the removal and consumption of flesh, to feed ones flesh - be it with tooth or utensil. 'Eat or be eaten' - it is the law of nature - mutability. |
