Piece description from the artist
The third in the pinecone series, Pinecone #3 simultaneously excites space while resting on its side. Bright orange pine needles lay across the body amplifying the dramatic nature of Pinecone #3’s shadow. I like to think of this pinecone as tired out from a party it went to. I also love how this piece is completely abstract at first glance.
