“Rock, (Toilet) Paper, Scissors”, 2020

“Rock, (Toilet) Paper, Scissors”, 2020 is a sculpture made for Marta Gallery (@marta.losangeles) and Plant Paper’s (@plant_paper) “UNDER / OVER” group exhibition of toilet paper holders, running from Sept. 10–Nov. 1., 2020.

Each edition of the work is made from two existing found objects: a pair of 11” Klein Scissors (with varying color handle), and a fiberglass faux rock.

Crystal jellies are clearly awesome!

Crystal jellies are very transparent about their life in the open ocean. The frilly mouth of the jelly—it’s the little clapper below the bell—can extend to nearly the size of the jelly itself to swallow food.

Here, you can see the mouth in action, moving along the bell edges to slurp food from the tentacles.

OH! And the “spokes on a wheel” of the crystal jelly are “radial canals”, which move nutrients about the jelly. The gonads run along these canals, and will look like white highlights about the “spokes” if the jelly is gravid.
