Nasher Sculpture Center
Artwork: Red Platter (21)
Location: Dallas, Texas, US
On View Through: 2024

In Red Platter (21), Pondick presents a surreal reinterpretation of a bowl of apples, incorporating casts of her own mouth. This striking work evokes themes of consumption, mortality, and transformation, balancing humor and unease. It exemplifies Pondick’s ongoing exploration of the intersection between the body and the organic, as well as her investigation of hybridity and metamorphosis.
