About the Item

This vivid and sticking surrealist wall sculpture by artist Megan Dune was created with acrylic, glitter, thread and fabric on canvas and paper mache. What's inside of you is what's inside of me, and it's also what's inside the bird outside your window. We're all systems of cells that are working in unison to continue on with the shared goal of living. We rely on the same resources, breathe the same air, see the same sights... tear us apart, and we all become the same nonliving material patiently waiting for its next chance at life. ABOUT THE ARTIST - Los Angeles based artist, Megan Dune, is a multimedia artist exploring the boundaries between fragmentation and integration. Her art represents a playful yet determined experimentation intended to convey flows of consciousness, territorize chaos, and ponder the great wonder that is our existence. Intrigued and humored by human processes, Dune finds herself peering out upon them from the widest perspective – “that we are blips living extraordinary lives upon a planet in an infinitely expanding universe”. This perspective is the thread that sews her work together, a reminder of our fantastic place in the universe. There is no subject too small or meaningless to find its way into her work, and the jumps between subjects and composition, as well as the connections between them, intend to replicate the conditions and curiousness of our existence.

  • Superbloom
    Located in West Hollywood, CA
    "Superbloom" is made with acrylic, oil pastel, paper, glitter, thread and clay on canvas and paper mache. This bright and vividly colored sculptural painting is a perfect example of the power of unrestrained creativity. INSPIRATION BEHIND THE WORK - What began as an experiment in creating rose petals slowly evolved into this deconstructed "Superbloom". At the center of these petals is a seemingly chaotic arrangement of color and texture. Yet, from slow observation, patterns and repetition emerge. What can be easily grouped into a "whole" is actually a balancing act of orchestrated parts - the same as every living organism we observe. There is a mystery to be savored in every act of living - as well as in viewing the traces of life left behind. "Superbloom" was made in love of the former, and leaves behind the latter. We'll never fully understand all the bits of a rose, or all the brushstrokes of a painting, but we're always welcome to bask in the sunshine that is loving without knowing.

  • Too Much Tea
    Located in West Hollywood, CA
    Sharon Brooks, the imaginative creator of the mixed media assemblage sculpture "Too Much Tea," describes it as a whimsical and delightful artwork. The centerpiece of this piece is a silver tray, cleverly supported by pounded silver cones that securely hold a wooden plate in place through drilled holes. This arrangement not only provides stability but also adds a touch of resilience to the sculpture. In her creative manipulation, Brooks has added a playful twist by incorporating the head of a doll sitting atop a teapot. It appears as if the doll is emerging from the teapot, with her arms playfully sticking out of the snout. This unique concept adds a sense of charm and intrigue to the artwork, reinventing the traditional tea-serving experience. The sculpture is further enhanced by the presence of multiple trays...
