A small golden shark is hung from the wall like a trophy while a dark snake weaves its black body around a wall candelabra in Philadelphia based sculptress Darla Jackson’s darkened menagerie. Made of gypsum cement and distinctly feminine finishing tools such as eye shadow and nail polish the sculptures often stand-alone or are grouped together within carefully composed on-site installations. Appearing imbued with a subtle melancholy, the works sing of childhood’s dark fairytales. View more of the stunning works below.
