This piece was created in 1998. Its dimensions are 10 inches by 5 inches. It is made out of tree bark, some dried grasses, a baby possum skeleton, moss and a glass dome for protection.
I had been doing research in the field of anatomy and I noticed that many doctors in the 1800's had created anatomical displays that featured cadavers in curious poses placed into a serene environment. It seemed like an interesting concept to me. I had found this baby possum skeleton intact underneath some moss in a field. It looked so peaceful and tranquil. I brought it home and created a nice environment that looked similar to the one it came from. I have had many people praise me about this sculpture. They have said that they feel peaceful while viewing it, which is the feeling that I wanted to come across to the viewer.
