David Valner’s Parasitica Water Jug series continues the artist’s long-term exploration of fungi and mold as both biological phenomenon and metaphor. Here the jug’s clean, archetypal silhouette becomes a host form, a vessel invaded by vivid, organic structures that appear to spread, drip, and consume. The glossy flowing layers evoke uncontrolled biological expansion, referencing parasitic molds that both fascinate and disturb.
