Christine K. Miller, <em>Inflammatory</em>, 2024. Wire, fiber, 13" x 10" x 11". Inflammatory displays how pain can feel sharp and hot in our bodies. When we have homeostasis, the cells and muscles feel smooth and aligned - energy flows easily and the green color represents harmony and growth in the body. The sharp contrast of the red, spiky and angular elements is creeping into the harmonious part of the sculpture.
