Detail from “Meditation,’’ in Keri Straka’s show “Biological Tithing,’' at Boston Sculptors Gallery through July 14.
The gallery says:
The gallery says that ‘“Keri Straka: Biological Tithing’ combines textiles and ceramics to create clusters of cells, tissue, organs, and bones, while posing intimate questions about the anatomy of the human soul as witnessed by the aging human body. …Straka uses delicate, organic shapes created from fabrics and hard, striking ceramic accents to muse on the concept of tithing, wondering whether molted cells could be collected and used to patch and protect skin as it becomes threadbare with age or illness."
