The Skin of Clearwater




The remains of cow, deer and horse bones were found just outside of Clearwater on Jim's farm.
Pieces of wood were taken from the area around a beaver damn near the old bridge near Clearwater.
I reluctantly took these objects back to Winnipeg and used latex to take impressions of the shape and textures. Consequently dirt, color and even my fingertip impressions were left inscribed in the latex. The latex took the exact skin replica of the surface of which was casted.

The following photos show the details of the wood and latex process.
