Rem Denizen and Nick Weddell, Ceremony (2021) at Jason Jacques Gallery
This geodesic dome envisioned by the designer Rem Denizen in collaboration with the Austin-based sculptor Nick Weddell was made as a vessel for ceremonies for beings from the planet Zeefromzeglo in which ayahuasca (a psychedelic tea) is taken, according to the artist. The work is carved from a single desiccated tree and patterned to reference the sacred geometry of nature that becomes exponentially perceptible by using plant medicine.
