Where the Grass is Always Greener

Where the Grass is Always Greener is a sculptural work by Ry Rocklen that transforms humble, everyday materials into something unexpectedly luminous. Constructed from cardboard cut-outs, foam, and plaster, the piece is adorned with silver leaf, lending an otherworldly shimmer to its otherwise modest foundations. Through the use of dowels and paint, Rocklen builds a layered composition that playfully probes themes of desire, illusion, and the perpetual longing for something just beyond reach.
