These are images of a project that I am created for the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals.  The sculpture kicked-off part of a National tour the
ninth of november 2004 at the third street pedestrian mall in memphis.  Click
here for more information about other cities and dates.
Keep in mind that all of the leather used was donated to PETA by people who realized how wrong it is to wear leather, and wanted the leather they
already owned to be used to educate others about the inhumanity of using leather.
Please check back often, as I will be updating these pages more than my other ones.
