The installations and photographs by sculptor are humorous presentations of fruit and plants as they grow, bloom, ripen, and wither. Wizened pears, for instance, are implanted in their own bed of mold, on refrigerated shelves next to jars containing preserved branches of freshly blooming leaves and buds. The temporal essence of nature thus acquires its own aesthetic and beauty, free of the overwhelming symbolism of the Baroque \u003cI style=\"mso-bidi-font-style: normal\"\u003ememento mori,\u003c\/I\u003e which compresses the process of decay into allegories of the frivolity of life.
