It can happen at any moment. A phone call can change your life. When news of a loved one’s death reaches you the feelings of utter despair and disbelief are overwhelming. This piece attempts to embody that emotion by showing a visual representation of the emotional meltdown that occurs when faced with such an extreme situation.

 A distinct departure for LAIRD, this collaboration is the first of many with artist James Olley. The piece is based on an image that has appeared in several of his paintings.

The drip painting technique used to achieve the melting effect makes each piece individual.
