Earth (Ascending Skulls)

animal skulls, ceramic human cranium, wood, metal

This array of skulls on formal stands references displays of skeletons in 19th century natural history museums. It also alludes to illustrations that show the progression of animal intelligence, with humans on the high end.

From left to right: whitetail deer skull, coyote, beaver, and racoon skulls. A model of a human cranium by ceramic artist Michelle Erikson is on the far right.
