sculpture work in progress

It has been over a year since nearly 16,000 pig carcasses were found in the river banks outside of Shanghai, China. This news story deeply effected me and has remained present in my memory over the past 14 months. I continue working on sculptures as seen above that will ultimately encompass a large installation. 

Last summer I completed a related action, in which 16,000 charcoal marks hit the wall  as an attempt to comprehend such a massive quantity. Perhaps what is even more disturbing is that according to local farmers, dead pigs in rivers is nothing new.
