Denouncing. Earthly. Animal. Desires.

Brides before her

  Denouncing Earthly Animals Desires coerces the viewer to explore the boundaries of our primal wants and bodily limits. Threatened, the confines of the human body fold, split, swell, mutate and falter revealing its true delicacies. Bourden, Allen and Mcknight protest mortality and the abject female by enlisting sculptural aids that represent both the interior and exterior of our living, dying, or disfigured material vessels.
