description:
The artist uses dead animals, no-longer functional objects, and scale model scenery to assemble small sculptures. The artist states he sees these objects as potential landscapes and "miniature locales of beauty." The artwork is therefore humorous, beautiful, and macabre at the same time. The work explores themes of life, death, nature, humanity, and the interactions between those things.
