Sour diesel and chrysanthemum santini yin yang on butcher paper
On loan from artist’s private collection
The artist uses organic materials to create the iconic Mickey Mouse silhouette, contrasting nature and artifice, capitalism and spirituality. The yin and yang signify the ritualistic use of cannabis in ancient China, while the cartoon silhouette represents the inevitable commodification of the plant.
