Love You More Than Life (corpse series) is an exhibition by artist Susan Classen-Sullivan, who creates human scale sculptures of frogs captured in a space between life and death, pleasure and pain, between the sacred and the profane.

“Love you more than life” (corpse series) began when I started to discover the small bodies of frogs splayed open on the damp road. I was amazed by their exquisite beauty and began bringing them back to my studio each morning to draw in the posture I had found them. Relating to the space of the paper they began to float, sometimes seeming to dance, always appearing to be in a state of ecstasy. I have now transposed the corpses to human scale with the intent of a wall-mounted installation in a discrete space. In their moment of transfiguration the forms in “Love you more than life”, exist fully revealed in a space between life and death, pleasure and pain, between the sacred and the profane.
