Lionel Maunz creates dystopian sculptures from rugged, brutal materials like cast iron, concrete and steel. Working principally with figurative forms, Maunz has described his vision of the body as a “fulminating, grinding, butchered thing,” a sense he reinforces by depicting dismembered, fragmented, and partially-decayed anatomies.

Fertilize My Mouth consists of a concrete ramp over which spills a sprawling, formless, and abject mass. At first resembling the melted ruins of a building destroyed by fire, upon closer inspection the iron mass depicts the remains of a decaying pig intermingled with exploded architectural fragments.
