| "Hell" This 8'x4'x4' installation features a life-size plaster figure sculpture with 'implanted' human hair in pit, chest, & chin, an open-mouth rendering with full dental sculpting, & acrylic gloss finish. The vortex under the figure is made from recycled clear plastic plates & cups, tissue paper, concrete, wood, steel, styrofoam, & ink airbrush. The installation was featured originally with black velvet curtains (white used here for purposes of photography), and the 6-lamp circuit was set on a motion detector, catching viewers by surprise when they walked into the curtained area. A written expose' of various ideas about hell hung outside the black velvet curtain door. Last exhibited in Washington, DC on Pennsylvania Ave. Vortex elements were later destroyed, and sculpture was maliciously damaged, so this photo is a memorial of the art. |

| Visitation 86"x33" Acrylic on Stitched & Sculpted Elkhide This one-of-a-kind original features seven different elkhides sewn together with invisible nylon thread, then soaked and sculpted for a free-form piece that defies the need for a frame.

| Coming Back 26"x38" Oil on Deer Skin SOLD The deerhide is stretched like a canvas, with smooth layering of oil brush strokes. The hide chosen for this painting has scarification (actual wounds the deer incurred that left marks on the hide); these blemishes mirror the trauma of the female figure, who is the subject of this work. Coming Back speaks to regaining spatial boundaries to recover from trauma. Unframed; gallery-wrapped deer skin. |
