there would be no beauty if there was no imperfection.

My roommate found a Robin that had fallen out of it's nest before even growing feathers. She called me at the studio and asked if I wanted it. Drew found a baby snake in the driveway and left it on my table. On a regular basis I receive gifts of exotic-looking bugs and animals such as these. I think these are really thoughtful gifts.

I have casted the Robin and the snake. The plaster positives are nowhere close to perfect, and I prefer them that way.

I will be reliant on people like you, willing to pick up road kill, when I move somewhere else!
