I'm happy to announce that I'm contributing a piece of sculpture to be auctioned off as part of the ZOOfari event at Columbia's Riverbanks Zoo and Garden. The event is on September 22. Proceeds go to support the zoo's programs.
While I agreed to participate months ago, it has taken me a long time to decide what to contribute. I have finally made peace with letting go of "Old Ben," a hermit crab sculpture I made this summer.

"Old Ben" is made mostly from discarded things I picked up in my neighborhood, including a golf club, the blade from a garden lopper, nuts and bolts from lawnmowers, and part of a staple gun. The whelk shell is one I collected from the beach myself -- probably from Edisto.
It's difficult for me to let go of any of the things I've made, and this piece is no exception. I'm going to miss this guy. I hope he finds a good home.
