‘Lust for Life’ is one of the artist’s most recent and most experimental works to date. Galmer’s assemblage of individually cast organic components including lemon slices, a sunflower stalk and sprigs of growing vine form a composition of explosive, if not miraculous, growth - from the form of a stone.
