The physical world and the meta-physical world are in constant conversation. This particular piece is a bridge piece between the work that depicts the technical beauty of and artistry of hand tools with the world of human mythology. Each tool has a personality that transcends itself as they perform and vocalize through these paintings. Here, a needle nose plier replicates en mass to feed upon the breast of a fertility figure with huge breasts.
