Installation for the exhibition “Wild Beasts” for ArtWeek 2017 at the Barnum Factory, Des Moines, IA. Curated by Mat Greiner, and Chicken Tractor
These hand polished and oiled deer bones are carved with the meandering paths of rivers where they were found. The carved bone is then packed with iron filings and left to rust. The sculptures are delicately balanced with magnets on steel rods set in salt blocks.
