@artvangarde: MOLDY RASPBERRY by KATHLEEN RYAN. Sculptor Kathleen Ryan transforms decaying fruit into extraordinary sculptures covered in gemstones and crystals. This close-up reveals a surreal landscape of purple, turquoise, and green mineral formations, with delicate white crystalline structures resembling stalactites inside a rotting raspberry. Rather than using actual mold, Ryan meticulously recreates decomposition with precious and semiprecious stones, glass beads, and other materials, turning something normally associated with disgust into an object of fascination. #crystal #art #artist #niche #fruit
