DETAIL OF BOX LID:
In this work, an elegant wooden box with photographically screened linen opens up to reveal a burst of color and an enticing, sumptuous surprise. Sweet Tooth takes artist Rona Pondick's famous Little Bathers (1990-1991) to a whole new dimension, creating rubber "sweets" in a lavish setting. Known for her provocative sculptures and installations that are simultaneously hilarious and horrific, Pondick combines dissonant fragments of bodies, such as teeth and ears, with pieces of furniture and articles of clothing to make pre-verbal, visceral meanings.Read Less

Rona Pondick's sculptures hybridize the human body with plants or animals, suggesting bizarre genetic mutations. Her works also fuse ancient and modern, Eastern and Western art forms; Buddhas and Egyptian deities morph into creatures recalling the sculptures of Giacometti or Louise Bourgeois. Exhibited widely since the early 1990s, Pondick has had solo exhibitions at the Worcester Art Museum and the DeCordova Museum and Sculpture Park in Lincoln, Massachusetts, and has received awards including the Rockefeller Foundation Fellowship and the Guggenheim Fellowship.
