February
A striking figurative sculpture by David Altmejd, *February* combines organic and synthetic materials to construct a haunting, hybrid form that blurs the boundary between the human and the animal. Layers of wood and foam serve as a structural foundation, while epoxy resin, mineral crystals, and epoxy clay encrust the surface with an otherworldly, geological texture. The addition of synthetic hair and a plastic wolf nose lends the work an unsettling totemic presence, characteristic of Altmejd's exploration of transformation, decay, and regeneration.
