'Better Off Dead' is a unique glass sculpture by the British artist, Elliot Walker. It has been created as part of his ongoing still life series of artworks.

The perfectly balanced arrow can be removed for transportation, yet when in place, it literally passes through the core of the apple. Appearing as if aimed, shot and finally piercing the glistening fruit, it is held static in this frozen moment.    

Combining exceptional glass making skills with a novelist’s ability for storytelling, Walker literally sculpts his glass, creating artworks that are the essence of curiosity. His still life compositions contain symbols of the domestic; fruits, flowers and delicacies. Yet, unlike their transient counterparts, these will never decay and are held permanently in this fleeting moment

The artist can also create pieces to commission, please contact the gallery for further information.
