spring lamb


You're looking at four different photos of one skull of a newborn baby. Starting in the lower left and going clockwise: front view, back view (tipped to the left), side view, top view. The minerals in the orbits are chalcopyrite and diabolite. With markers and acrylic paint.

I think newborns are fascinating, especially their heads. I used to be a nurse in a newborn nursery—most entertaining job I ever had.

    The green touches really make this, Fi, and yes, he's dead but he's still got a rakish little skeletal leer...it's great!
