2023 04 Hickory, Hunk and Zeke

In June of 2022 I took the workshop Crazed Anatomy with Michael deMeng at Shake Rag Alley in Mineral Point, WI. The workshop was a ton of fun but I never finished the project until now.


My project was based on the three farm hands who become the iconic characters accompanying Dorothy on her journey to the Wizard of Oz. 

The three substrates: a metal piece, a miniature dress form
and a Filipino seagrass Santa Claus

The bases that would become the Yellow Brick Road
