Artist Jim McKenzie and I partnered on this collaborative piece for Chet Zar's "Conjoined V" show at Copro Gallery in Santa Monica, CA.

McKenzie's iconic "Pumpkincrab" is scaled down to a wearable size, with a few twists. The piece's story that derived from collaborating: In reality, humans eat pumpkins (50 million pumpkin pies at Thanksgiving) and crabs (275-300 million pounds of crabs consumed in the US annually) all the time.

But in Pumpkincrabland...
The humans are eaten!
Pumpkincrab wears a chef's hat and giddily holds a fork and spoon ready to feast on the humans he's caught between his legs. The two human bodies form the band, conjoined and bent at their feet.

Comes with Sculpturing, Hand Blown Glass Cloche Dome, Black Engraved Base with Armature, Travel Pouch, and Signed, Numbered, Dated, Fingerprinted Documentation.
