"Compost compost burning bright
with the crawlers of the night
breaking it down like only you can
no more compostables in the trash, man!"
This sculpture is a visual interpretation of the process of composting.
"Bursting from the heat of transformation, emerges the birth of new life. The Phoenix of the soil, the earth renewal. Possibilities abound, rising up out of the ground to return again, there is no end!"
There is no end to the cycle of death and rebirth in all of nature. When compost is happening it gets hot as it transforms dead matter into the nutrients of new life. Literally! It is life giving to compost. It is the fiery flame of the phoenix. This sculpture is made from paper grocery bags, a silk shirt, cheesecloth, scissors, and corn husks. It is sealed with paverpol, boast sealer, and topped with gold spray paint and glitter(of course!).
It is my great hope that it will live in a learning garden where maybe it will help to inspire visitors to compost :)
