Book Shelf box piece

This is a photo by Bill Adams of the inside sculpture of a box piece I recently created. The idea was to make a piece that would function as something more than a 'looking at' piece. I built the box into a set of shelves. I also made it light up so it serves as sort of a lamp too. More pictures to follow. 

Bear

I made a bear head. It is the third installation in the 'Vegan Taxidermy' series. This photo is by Bill Adams  and explains why it looks better than the stuff I take pictures of myself. 

Reviving a classic

This piece is about 10 years old. It had fallen into disrepair. I was ashamed and embarrassed to let it get that far so I revived it, framed it out and finally got glass on the front. This sculpture was photographed and ended up being the cover to William Elliott Whitmore's first record, "Hymns for the Hopeless" on Southern Records.
