These handmade forms provide an intimate experience for the audience serving as portal into an alternative world, where one can interact with exotic marvels and improbable anatomy.
The sculptures are made from fish bones collected at the beach. The bones have been sterilized and bleached and then clay or textiles and glass or shell eyes have been added. The have wire armatures which make them able to stand alone.
On the back wall will be a series of digital photographs featuring the sculptures in an appropriate environment.

Props are sometimes used to highlight and emphasize the character and quirky personalities of the figures or animals.
The concepts provide an intimate experience for the audience, operating as a portal to an alternative world where one can interact with the figures in strange juxtapositions.
