Poison Poisson
"Poison Poisson" by Alan Belcher presents two cast-lead multiples that play on the homophonic relationship between the English word "poison" and the French word "poisson," meaning fish. The weighty, industrial quality of the lead material contrasts with the implied fragility of aquatic life, creating a tension between form and meaning. Belcher's work invites viewers to consider the dual nature of language and materiality, where toxicity and nature become intertwined through sculptural repetition.
