I only recently started exploring the human figure in the Mech-Fossil assemblage series and am anxious to continue this road. This skeleton reflects a pose from an old archival print — I chose the reference due to the subtle shift in weight that the pose demonstrates as well as the position of the arms. It's in our human nature to recognize and translate the poses and gestures other humans make, that's also what makes it so challenging to get 'humanly correct' when I strive for some level of realism in these assemblages. This was a fun piece to build!

• Certificate of Authenticity included.
• Embossed signature label on bottom of cast.
• There is a custom-made aluminum key-hole hanger on the back that is screwed to the cast, this allows the cast to float away from the wall when hung.
• Includes hanging screw for drywall or wood wall.
• There may be slight surface imperfections on all casts including small surface bubbles or curved edges. I highlight other notable blemishes in the images with a red circle.
• The cast creature is susceptible to fingerprints, clean with a small amount of window cleaner and a soft cloth.
• Keep out of direct sunlight or high-emitting UV lights.
• Avoid extreme temperatures and rapid temperature variations.
