Kris Kuksi's intricate sculptures tell Rococo tales of the rise and fall of industrial civilization. Requiring countless hours, Kuksi's sculptures are made by a meticulous process of collection, assemblage, manipulation and unification. The resulting works are a form of three dimensional collage that reference deities, religion, morality, mortality and warfare. Kuksi successfully merges the sumptuous echo of the past with a satirical and critical commentary of our modern world.
