Cruising Cornucopia

Reflecting on the wealth of developed nations, I created a large cornucopia, symbolic of endless abundance. However this ceramic basket of goodies is on wheels, the hubcaps of which have threatening spikes. The arched windows reflect a sacred space, yet aggression is linked with the vehicle’s presence. The entrance is like an open flower, ringed with petals. Inside are a variety of organisms that also serve as body parts: protozoan eyes, caterpillar mouth, etc. The merging of the sacred with the profane is a challenge for all people, in our relationship with our self, others, community, nation and environment.
