LAN TUAZON

False Fruits
January 7 – January 31, 2017
Opening Reception:  January 8, 6-8 PM


In Gallery II, Essex Flowers is pleased to present Lan Tuazon’s False Fruits. These fruits consist of dissected mass produced containers nesting concentrically like the rings of a tree. Bottles, coolers, Tupperware, and toys are rearranged and accumulated: liquid commodities are compressed like plastic crystals inside of a geode. No object is left whole, each half swallows another. Tuazon is a masterful engineer and agriculturalist: she grows new False Fruits from what we’ve consumed, cast off, forgotten in the back of the closet and moved away from.
