Never Pelts

Modern fur pelt wall hangings for the hunting impaired.


I never understood the duality of Admiration by Cessation, where animals are killed in their prime so as to become lifeless trophies that are displayed in a manner that favors the new owner.
These studies allow me the opportunity to explore the unique properties of animal hair without contributing to mass extinction.
The "Never Pelt" Series depicts pelts that shouldn't, couldn't or wouldn't be taken.

Extreme Ironing



A sarcastic tribute to the questionable sport of
EXTREME IRONING







Extreme Ironing Trophy

First Place: George P. Burdell
Men's Finals: Bed Sheet (California King) 
Mt. Washington. 1916 meters.
Wind speed 127 mph. 
Time 12min 47sec. 
Score 9.7

"Exitus Acta Probat" is Latin for "Results Justify the Deed".
420 is often thought of as the Police call numbers for a pot bust. 
This is an Urban Myth. 
California Penal Code 420 is a misdemeanor for obstruction of use of public lands.

Oddly enough, the contestant reached the summit at 4:20 EST.

Replica

I photographed this pillar on my first trip to Japan.
Several years later I used it as inspiration for a hard surface modeling study in ZBrush.
