# Mini Post-Apocalyptic Relics Jeremy Mora and Robert Reynolds' ‘Picking Up the Pieces' By Marissa Brassfield | Published 2009-04-12 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jeremy-mora-picking-up-the-pieces-povevolving-gallery References: [picasaweb.google](http://picasaweb.google.com/jeremymora/JeremyMoraAndRobertReynoldsAtPOVevolving#) & [povevolving](http://www.povevolving.com/POVgallery_SubSite/current.html) I’m a sucker for [miniature sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kennedy-yanko), and Jeremy Mora’s immaculate ‘Picking Up the Pieces’ exhibition with Robert Reynolds at POVevolving Gallery in Los Angeles is breathtaking. The press release that accompanies ‘Picking Up the Pieces’ is intentionally left vague, but my response to Jeremy Mora’s sculptures is one that coincides with a [post-apocalyptic tale](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/light-into-darkness) of society. Perhaps it’s appropriate that these sculptures in ‘Picking Up the Pieces’ are made from [unusual materials](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/assemblage-7-lost-and-found-ii) like piano wire, random twigs and other studio detritus; they lend a haphazard quality that enhances Jeremy Mora’s incredible miniature works even further. The Scion-sponsored exhibit opens this evening. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.5/10 - Popularity: 30% | Activity: 7% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Modern](https://www.trendhunter.com/modern) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Miniature Sculptures:** The trend of creating miniature sculptures offers opportunities for disruptive innovation in the art and design industry, allowing artists to explore unconventional materials and create unique works. - **Post-apocalyptic Art:** The trend of post-apocalyptic art presents disruptive innovation opportunities in the entertainment and media industry, where artists can explore dystopian themes and create immersive experiences for audiences. - **Unconventional Materials:** The trend of using unconventional materials in art and design opens up disruptive innovation opportunities in the recycling and sustainability industry, where artists can repurpose waste materials and create new value. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Art and Design:** The art and design industry can leverage the trend of miniature sculptures and post-apocalyptic art to attract a wider audience and offer unique artistic experiences. - **Entertainment and Media:** The entertainment and media industry can capitalize on the trend of post-apocalyptic art to create immersive storytelling experiences and engage audiences in new and exciting ways. - **Recycling and Sustainability:** The recycling and sustainability industry can benefit from the trend of using unconventional materials in art and design, as artists find innovative ways to repurpose waste and promote eco-friendly practices. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Sculptural Design Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pure-exhibition.md) - [Destructive Nature Art Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/keita-miyazaki.md) - [Collaborative Sculptural Art Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/neojomon-biomorphic-fantme.md) - [Broken-Aesthetic Sculpture Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brokenaesthetic-sculpture-collection.md) - [Futuristic Totemic Lighting Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/space-relics.md) - [Industrial Art Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sized.md) - [Whimsical Sculptural Furniture Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/city-block-series.md) - [Surreal Love-Themed Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/joakim-ojanen.md) - [Futile Material Design Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/please-sit-for-an-alternate-ending.md)
