"Lotus Eaters" by Elif Erkan

Lotus Eaters, an exhibition of sculptural works by Los Angeles-based artist Elif Erkan. Beyond the ancient myth of the lotophages who consumed the narcotic fruits and flowers of the lotus tree, this new group of works references modern figures, substances, and notions of alternative living such as Robert Bootzin; natural and chemical remedies; or Henry Miller’s memoir describing his time in Big Sur.
