Smoked

5 years 2 months ago #629676 by stevendillonphoto
Smoked is from my Naturally Abstract collection and was composed at Hopeland Gardens in Aiken, SC.  It had quite a bit of dirt and/or particles on the various surfaces so I blew on it to remove them, which caused it to explode with bugs.  Ants, maggot looking worms, flies, who knows what else came out of it in a steady stream.  For a while, each time I blew on it, more came out.  But, that wasn't the coolest thing that happened.  After I had finished creating this piece and while I was searching for another, it started to emit what looked like smoke.  I'm guessing that it was some type of pollen, but it was so thick that it looked like it was on fire.

Not sure, I can say that I wouldn't eat it.  It smelled horrid.  :-)
