Fruiting Body is a hand-built, intimate porcelain sculpture. It is part human and part fungus, or perhaps coral. It invites the viewer to revel in its intricate, delectable texture, and to wonder about the nature of its current predicament. Is the being within attempting to hide and camouflage? Or has its body been colonized by spores and become a host that has borne fruit? Is it now an entirely new organism? Locking gazes with its hollow, somewhat haunted eyes, the viewer can ponder the intricacy and evolution of an inner self that, like many of ours, feels trapped and stranded, yet holds unthought-of possibilities.
5” tall x 3” diameter
Currently on exhibit as part of UNCHARTED, at the 6 Bridges Gallery in Maynard, MA through 8 August 2026. Please email me at vk@victoriakostadinova.com to purchase or find out more about the making of this piece. Thank you.
