“Blow Over and Over” is part of a series exploring the surprising connection between hand grenades and pomegranates. The term "hand grenade" derives from the French "pomme grenade" (apple with seeds), highlighting the coexistence of beauty and destruction. The resemblance of the pomegranate inspired the naming of the weapon in many languages. This artwork embraces imperfection and impermanence, showcasing the beauty found in its evolving state. Moments of creation and the transition from 2D to 3D (and vice versa) are captured in this diptych. It features pomegranates with seeds bursting forth like sparks from a detonation in progress. At the bottom of the canvas, a 3D toy hand grenade, the culprit and inspiration, is caught between branches. Its safety pin is held precariously by a twig, hinting at the tension and fragility of the scene. BLOW OVER AND OVER 2024, Mixed media on canvas 26 x 20 x 4.5 inchs
