Hello Parasite

"Hello Parasite"

I saw a rainforest episode of Planet Earth where there was a kind of fungus called Cordyceps (check out the images: sick and beautiful!) that gets inside insects and makes them crazy before growing out of they and killing them.  When I made this sculpture I was thinking about something similar taking over Hello Kitty.

Wow - that is some crazy postmodern ikebana.

I'm traumatized by the parasite photo you linked. The image is now burned in my brain.

MB! Hello!! I sold a rooster - how do I pay you? Jot me a note @ kg@arthouse3.com when you can and give me instructions... Love seeing your new work on your blog and some great pics of you and Mikel.
