Good morning and good night memento mori sculptures

a hand-sized hand and dime-sized bumblebee. I found her on a sidewalk once, exhausted. Not knowing what to do I brought her to a little flowerbed where a serendipitous, discarded can of pepsi had a last drop, which she drank from. I don't know how bad of an idea it was but I didn't have any other options. I left her among the flowers and never forgot her.

How do we care for our creatures? Why didn't I learn this in school?

Turkish baklava and cinnamon ceylon; an unexpected gift from an engineer from Iraq.

Baubo (earthenware and underglazes) goddess of mirth, head optional. She is barely known in the pantheon but the stories about her are delightful, all body, no head, sexy and silly and playful. Tell me how to remove my head and be my body, come alive

CRYING - by Galway Kinnell Crying only a little bit is no use. You must cry until your pillow is soaked! Then you can get up and laugh. Then you can jump in the shower and splash-splash-splash! Then you can throw open your window and, “Ha ha! ha ha!” And if people say, “Hey what’s going on up there?” “Ha ha!“ sing back, "Happiness was hiding in the last tear! I wept it! Ha ha!”

I delighted in making this little sculpture, trying to make big gloppy tears that run and collect like in a cartoon. The figure is massive from the front but from the side you see they are flat and dented in– already opening up to an airy dancing skeleton.

Global Food History journal – Durian (2017)

Gorgeous stinky durian! This spiky fruit is in a league of its own. I added a knife for extra tension, a human interest.
