People native to both South and North America are often known as “corn people” because their civilizations depended on the success of corn crops. Consequently, corn from seed to harvest plays an important role in a community of traditional beliefs, customs, and the mythology passed through generations. Inspired by indigenous cultures and their direct connection with the earth, the intention for this series of sculptures is to combine a magical mix of contemporary and ancient, and for the viewer to experience a connection to how nature awakens our creativity.
