Vernacular, sculptures by Song Kang

Song Kang is an artist based in Portland, Oregon. She combines her interests in organic forms and textural details to create dreamlike images. Her latest project "Vernacular" features sculptures of imaginary architecture growing from animal bodies.

The term ‘vernacular’ tends to correlate with all things commonplace; however, in the architectural sense, the ‘vernacular’ exemplifies man’s abilities to adapt to his surroundings and build with his environment. This series explores the symbiotic relationship between the vernacular home and the environmental context in which it exists.
