About the piece Abby was sculpted in 2002... I wanted to make a Rottweiler doll head but he didn't come out like I wanted - he looked more like a Pit Bull. So, I put him on my TV and forgot about him. In January 2005 after getting the show schedule for EBSQ and seeing that there was a 3D show, I was looking for something else to enter other than Jessica... and I saw him looking at me. So, here he is. While he was created specifically to enter into EBSQ's "Tangible: Art as Object" show where he took a Member's Mention award against sculptural entries - he is something that I wanted to try. His EBSQ page can be reached by clicking >here<. The page will open in another window...
