Hairy Bone Balls

Sculputure

Hairy Bone Balls consists of three clay sculptures incorporating liquid latex mixed with Saos-2 cells, human and synthetic hair. The sculptures have an organic form reminiscent of human bone structures, referencing the bone cancer origin of the Saos-2 cell line. The inclusion of hair provides an abject visual link with the original human donor.
