Isn’t it amazing to think of all the precious stones, metals, and other extraordinary objects growing in the hidden places of our world? The sculptural work of artist Brett Freund seeks to explore questions of value and preciousness, what makes one thing more prized than another?
Do we place a higher value on something that takes a longer time to ferment and evolve into its ideal form? Or is a thing’s rarity more important? And what about objects that are always growing and changing?
Freund’s work, with its fractal shapes that seem to be metamorphosing right in front of our eyes, making us think of old things, covered in signs of age and transformation. They are no longer what they were, but have become what they were meant to be.
Which is more valuable, what is at the beginning or the end? To see more of Brett Freund’s work, please visit his website.

Wow! That is very cool! I think I like the first two best. : )
So glad you like Brent’s work, Zia! Aren’t those first 2 amazing? The 4th one listed, from his Vessels series, was the first example of his work I saw and I love those, but the Crystals are incredible.
