David Altmejd

     David Altmejd's mythological warewolves and giants are striking. Many of these sculptures stand over 10 feet tall, and like the majority of Almejds work, seem to be in a state of decay. This state of decay is important as decay is really only a state of new forms of life taking the place of the old by feeding off of it. His work is about life in many forms. Altmejd started his undergraduate degree in Evolutionary Biology then later switched to art. He works with the evolution of myth and how myth and science relate particularly in regards to human social evolution in the broader scheme of biological evolution.
