Artist Statement
This cheerful series of small wall sculptures represent the beautiful equilibrium of life. At first glance the protruding limbs appear to be in the throes of the birthing process, the small bouncy flowers growing out of the fingers and toes presenting the viewer with a joyful bouquet, while gleefully reminding us of the natural inevitabilities of life: death. While this juxtaposition may be jarring, it is presented with a playful whimsy and acceptance of our fleeting nature.

Biography
Tara K Wells is a Maritime Canadian artist and designer. Her multidisciplinary art practice includes new media installations, animations, prints, drawing, kinetic and static sculptures, and most recently, quilts.
In her efforts to make as small a dent on the planet as possible, she prefers to work with recycled materials, or as she likes to say: breaking down the broken-down and building with the bits.
She has had several gallery and festival exhibitions of her installation works, and her animations have been screened around the world.
