More Context

Didactics

Oka Doner's primary interests revolve around the natural world, particularly ancient and fossil forms. <em>Titan</em> suggests these primordial relationships through its fossil- or shell-like surface, evoking cycles of life and death. The hollow, sponge-like figure elicits both growth and decay. Coming from a body of work that marks the artist's return to an interest in the life-size human form, this sculpture was hand patinated by the artist and intended for placement in a naturalistic outdoor setting.
