Black Licorice Meltdown 4/10

The Meltdown series takes something sweet, disposable, and forgettable—and refuses to let it disappear quietly. These oversized blow pops, cast in high-gloss UV resin, lean into the drama of decay. They’re about attention spans, consumer cycles, and the mess left behind when the novelty wears off.
 
Black Licorice Meltdown is number 4 from an edition of 10. It stands four feet tall and includes my signature on the underside—because even collapse gets documented.
 
Pieces from the series have been shown around the world, including a nine-foot Cherry Meltdown installed along the Grand Canal in Venice. Others, like the Lemon Mid Size Meltdown, have hit auction prices around $13,673 (Ravenel).
 
This one won’t last forever. But that’s the point.
 
This limited series sculpture is made to order.

I had dinner once with a friend who told me that she was bored of her boyfriend. She said, "Like he's really not doing much with his life and I know I can find better."
 
I said, "So nothing is actually wrong, you just want to throw him away because you're bored."
 
"Yeah, she said, "It's a big world out there. On to the next."

Irony’s never been a side effect—it’s the main ingredient.
 
Most of what I make looks bright, glossy, and harmless. That’s the setup. The reality underneath is usually darker, heavier, and closer than most people want to admit.
 
The work doesn’t hide it. It just wraps it well.
