About The Event
Does extinction have a cost?
This series consists of 5 environmental art sculptures that I assembled to help further critical awareness of our fellow sentient beings on our planet.
On view will be: 1-The Walrus Skull is 50 years old, has 18 inch ivory tusks with Native scrimshaw carved into them. A cultural artifact in itself.
2-The African Lion skull is quite significant because of its unfortunate status of almost being endangered.
3-The 8 foot American Alligator skeleton is positioned similar to the Egyptian God Sobek.
4-The first skeleton that I completed was the Monkey. I thought that being a primate it would be easiest but it still took me 40 hours of research, drilling and wiring to complete.
5-Finally, I put together the Lynx Bobcat. Another beautiful yet unfortunate endangered animal. #CrucifixionSeries
