Ya Peel Me? is a collaborative installation of a continuation of a past exhibition, Some Fun Guys, which was a multi-piece sculptural display that challenged what is considered natural or unnatural. Ya Peel Me? will continue to blur the lines between artificial and organic while incorporating the juxtaposing elements of decomposition and preservation to capture a surreal middle line between imagination and reality.

Destery Epling and Cash Wickert both graduated from Southern Oregon University’s Honors College in 2022 with Bachelors Degrees in Psychology and Minors in Visual Art. The encouragement and artistic influence of their various art professors has fueled their interest in continuing with sculptural work post-graduation. The two hope that their creative work both visually inspires and confuses their viewers.
