Art Weekend - Bad Lemon (Tart) by Kathleen Ryan
As a allegory for decandence and the circle of life, Kathleen Ryan's Bad Fruit sculptures depict oversized fruit slowly rotting away. The pristine fruit is created with common beads made of glass but the rot and mold are created with precious and semi-precious jewels.
