Nutrition Information (Do Not Eat)

Further details of my 2023 Wallmountables (currently on view at DCAC)

Everything but the glue and paint has been salvaged, picked up off the ground, rescued or recycled in some way. A broken and melted glass jar dug up from the bank of the Shenandoah River. Scraps of rabbit fur found in a friend's childhood basement, from a decades-ago abandoned craft project. Copper wire unraveled from the transformers of broken gadgets. 


Wünderkämmchen

Found objects, mouse bones, cicada, toe-platform of shoe.

Three out of five have been SOLD! Nectar Loop and Unseen (unpictured) Toolkit still available. Also, the main tool in the latter assemblage has been tentatively identified as a sheep shearer.

False alarm! DCAC now reports that *only* "Fear Eater" has actually been sold. Other pieces are still available.
