Occupying marginal areas such as wall corners, fissures in the floor, and gaps around the edges, Tony Matelli's Weeds are hyper-realistically rendered in painted bronze. Often seen as symbols of disregard or surrender, the weeds here are a celebration of the mundane and vulgar over the rare and precious. Permanently rebellious, the plants are nagging reminders of our fallibility and vanity, performing as unlikely heroic symbols.
