Bread Virgins
Cast Aluminum & Bronze 2009 & 2018
The Bread Virgins loosely reference a common thread in origin myths where humans are sculpted from a piece of bread dough or mud. First sculpted in bread dough, these cast bronze and aluminum Bread Virgins begin with humble roots but get translated through the iterative process of casting and hand shaping- a process very similar to how the interpretation of icons are adapted and co-opted as they travel through time and cultures.
