Holbein’s Teratoma Detail
Completed: 2010
Details: Vinyl waste weed ball
Smile is accompanied by a crude, tumor-like red ball of vinyl sitting in the middle of the gallery floor. Entitled, Holbein’s Teratoma, the sculpture is made of the vinyl waste of the wall installation, Smile. Holbein’s Teratoma has a brooding physical presence underscored by its construction of the negative space between the words, suggesting a kind of physicality that language cannot represent.
