Part cootie, part kitty, part kid, this piece defies easy classification. My recent sculptures have been made of insulating foam with a plaster skin that reveals none of its interior composition. This time I decided to be true to the piece's composition and left gaps in the skin—with startling results. [detail of the critter's unusual surface]
