Nathan Mabry — Process Art (Eat Your Heart Out)
Nathan Mabry

Process Art (Eat Your Heart Out)

A cast bronze heart rests upon an elegant marble and wood pedestal, merging the visceral with the refined in a tension between organic form and formal presentation. Mabry's work plays with the phrase "eat your heart out," transforming a colloquial expression of envy into a literal, sculptural object that invites both dark humor and contemplation. The combination of materials elevates the humble idiom into something monumental, blurring the boundaries between concept, language, and physical form.
