O
2019

O is a series of tinted resin heads based on fountains found in the gardens of Museu do Açude, in the Tijuca forest in Rio de Janeiro, undated and made by unknown artists. With their gaping mouths relentlessly spilling water, Dolven Balke saw an image of life-flow in the fountain figures. In collaboration with the museum the artist was able to take moulds of them on site.
