Ryan fashions decaying fruit from glittering beads, gemstones and found items, illustrating her fascination with \"how objects bring meaning and carry a history.\" Subverting expectations of value, synthetic acrylic and glass beads simulate glistening flesh, while clusters of semiprecious stones play the role of pathogens such as \u003ci\u003epenicillium digitatum\u003c\/i\u003e. The selection of work in this volume presents Ryan's fruits alongside other large-scale models of evanescent vegetation, and ignites a sense of disorientation and mythic wonder through its materiality, scale and evocative power. This fully illustrated catalog features essays by Bob Nickas, Shannon Mattern and Heather Davis.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Karma, New York\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/15\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781949172744\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 104\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.07lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.40h x 9.50w x 0.70d","brand":"Kathleen Ryan","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42496210796725,"sku":"9781949172744","price":29.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_cd37bc3a-a757-4f91-a384-3a8db129c385.jpg?v=1667922083","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/kathleen-ryan-daisy-chain-9781949172744","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
