Then She Morphed into the Black Swan, ceramic sculpture, 2012, NFS. Inspired by the movie Black Swan where she starts sprouting the black feathers of her alter ego. The heel reflects her hand when morphing and the many scenes where she was pulling at her cuticles and making them bleed. I added the feather band to represent the tutu.

Grapevine Shoe, ceramic sculpture, 2012, 200.

rhamin Purse, ceramic sculpture, 2012, NFS. Modeled after a Brahmin leather purse I've had for years. When constructing the zipper opening, I had misaligned the stamped name Brahmin, had no more clay, so I left off the 'B' so it became the rhamin purse.
