Since we posted the flier forc Creation Mutation solo show opening on Saturday, October 25th [7-10 PM] @ M Modern we’ve been wanting to see more. We recently had the pleasure of an early look at Michelle’s numerous wood sculptures for the show and are revealing a few here as an exclusive sneak peek.
We’re happy to say that unlike a movie trailer, the flier was just a hint of the goodness to come. The two-headed giraffe and siamese barbershop dudes on the flier were just the beginning of the DNA bending outbreak. Michelle’s got plenty of great stuff waiting in the wings. She’s taken the concept of twisted animals and run with it across several different pieces for her own spin on the wild kingdom. Unlike her previous work which often featured complete scenes this new work offers focused looks at her characters.
The two-headed purple hippo with a feathered passenger (above) is one of our faves in part due to the huge ivories – all the better to chomp swimmers with! Sticking with the aquatic theme of this preview, the dual-headed Alligator offers a very different yet equally cool ‘look’ – angular and boxy lines replace the curves of the hippo.
There’s plenty more gene splitting action in store for you at the opening of Creation Mutation on October 25th @ M Modern. Keep watching Vinyl Pulse for another preview as we get closer – can’t show you everything all at once now, can we ?
