A long pointed wooden stick holds a plaster head made from the mold of a tree and some sharp studs. The sculpture, part of a group of works presented at an exhibition at the Galerija Skuc in Ljubljana, is inspired by the musical performances of the thrash metal group Slayer. In part primordial mace, in part prickly stiletto, in part prophetic stick, the object refers to the liturgical imagery of musical rituals and appears, ironically, ready for use. Only its unlikely size suggests that it is a sculptural formalization.
