Additional information

«Cerberus, the watch dog of Hades, was put on the job since his three drooling heads would devour any flesh approaching and only let proper spirits pass. He keeps guarding the impossible threshold between content and form in my Carnivor appropriation. The sculpture was made by combining parts of toy dogs, de-materialize them through 3D scanning and resurrect them into their final bastard form by having a robot carve them out of a solid aluminum block. Life is hard. I love this sculpture. It deserves another chance to set out and do work in the world.» Karl Larsson

Sculpture is allegorical in its nature and needs to be tuned, or connected, to an absolute of some sort in order to make sense.
