I spent over four years in Biology getting my bachelor's degree before realizing that what attracted me to science was the aesthetics of science. Specimen jars are both beautiful and cold, a frozen torment of life preserved forever in death. Investigating jars in a specimen storage area is a surreal experience; each jar is at first a complete mystery of textures and then a hard slap of reality. I make ceramic and multimedia objects for specimen jars and, for this project, have taken them to their 'natural habitat'...a specimen collection. Someone studying the collection will probably be taken aback by their placement here.
