Constrained (mold-grown) gourd, metal stand, glass and copper.

Dimensions variable, roughly 18x8x8”

This piece is a contemplation on identity and our relationships with other species.  Made from a gourd grown in a mold of my face, it is a collaboratively formed self-portrait.  The glass-covered aperture offers glimpses of the “inner workings” of my plant-based facsimile.
