The Things We Try To Mend And Repair
Repurposed and reconstructed taxidermy form, boat shaped bookcase enveloped in cotton batting, led light source, men’s work shirts, women’s negligees, bed sheets, various domestic wares, including mason jars, jelly jars, and drinking glasses filled with warm water
