@cmorey’s enchanting sculpture ‘Changing Seas’ [Hand sculpted porcelain, 7.25x4.5x3.25"] for the upcoming Beautiful Bizarre Magazine exhibition 'Secret Longings' at @coreyhelfordgallery. About the sculpture: “Our overuse of resources has destroyed our planet’s natural balance. The skies churn, rivers flood, oceans rise, and forests burn. The world is a changed place, and the most vulnerable feel the effects first. Crystal Morey’s human-animal-plant hybrids are an imagined antidote, like seeds awakened by wildfire, that embody adaptations to these disastrous circumstances. They defy science, giving us a hopeful second chance. They plant the precious seeds they carry with them, beginning a journey back to a sustainable, flourishing environment. Yet their fragility and delicacy are a reminder of the struggle of fringe and endangered species that is a consequence of the apocalypse that has been created by rapid industrialization. Through these hybrids, Morey addresses issues like ocean acidification and habitat consumption while drawing attention to nature’s beauty, adaptability, and interconnection. By suggesting that they could change what feels like an inevitable trajectory, she creates empathy for the most vulnerable, allowing us to hope that it isn’t too late.” Secret Longings | March 11-April 15, 2023 Opening reception: March 11. 7:00 – 11:00pm Corey Helford Gallery 571 S Anderson St #1, Los Angeles, CA 90033, United States To receive the Collectors Preview, please email Gallery Director Sherri J.
