A Natural History of The Senses Relief Sculpture



Lavender Clusters 

Foam board, felt, yarn, wood beads, lavender essential oil, 14x14 





Artist Statement 

This sculpture explores the idea of something being shocking to the eye, yet pleasant to the nose. This is similar to the way the scent of violets is shocking to our sense of smell, yet we still find them desirable. To express this, I decided to conquer my fear of many small holes and/or dots (trypophobia) and make it desirable by making the piece smell of lavender.
