Rosa “H3COHH2CHCH3OOH”

Steel Re-bar, rust paint Size 5’x4.5’x4’ in collaboration with Liz Overduin (certified welder)

The Rosaceae family, including the garden Rose as well as apples, is one of the most cultivated, botanically manipulated, and aggressively marketed among plants. The solid steel of this sculpture intends to symbolize the resilience of these plants even as we celebrate their delicate petals and fragrances.
