Running a bit behind with posts and have been meaning to share my new business cards that recently arrived. I chose to feature one of my all-time favorite pieces on this batch of cards. It’s titled "Poseidon's Penchant”. I really miss this piece, but now it resides in the menagerie of film director Guillermo del Toro so I know it will be appreciated for many years to come, not only by Guillermo, but also by his guests. Throughout the 30 years that I have been creating sculpture with the remains of animals, my primary directive has been to use ethically sourced materials. The philosophy behind my work mandates that no animals can be killed for the purpose of procuring art supplies. This piece was no exception and was constructed entirely with recycled animal parts. Materials included a stillborn pygmy goat, mediterranean sea bass, vintage European roe deer antlers, and gold leaf.
