Earth/Alive (detail) --- A tribute to our ancestors whose resourcefulness and use of whatever was available enabled them to live and thrive by any means necessary. The 3 heads are made from melted crayon butts from the end of the year art classes. Styrofoam packaging forms the base which is covered by a mosaic of cut-up credit cards and film negatives. Spools from pyro lace form the poles holding up the platforms.
