So, midterm critique is coming up, which is why you're actually seeing work from me now. Ha. Third piece in my graduate studio inquiry into assemblage sculpture.

Wooden box (was some kind of wall-hanging notepad holder, used to have a door), antique paper, antique costume jewelry findings, assorted animal molars (deer, raccoon, opossum, ???), text from a 1970s Gray's Anatomy.

There's not a whole lot to say here...just sort of brings together my love of curio, natural history and taxonomy, medical ephemera, Victorian style, etc. "Multicuspidati" means molars. I wanted it to look like a cross between an art gallery, a medical museum, a natural history museum and some sort of jewelry display.

If anyone can identify the tooth in the bottom right frame (the large oval), I'd love to know what it is. I can't remember where I got it and my partner thinks it looks kind of human...but it's definitely not one of mine! For scale, the one next to it (bottom left) is a whitetail deer.
