Picking Daisies

Picking Daisies is a striking marriage of peace and war, with a delicate daisy acting as the pin and the only element maintaining tranquillity. The intricately replicated grenades have been hand-sculpted with extreme precision, advocating an alternative to the anger and conflict that continues to consume the world. Formed from multiple hot-worked elements that have been carved and polished to their final shape, the work contrasts beauty with destruction, fragility with force, and hope with conflict.
