“What a Long Strange Trip It’s Been” (2016) is a sculptural assemblage built from a genuine cow skull recovered from the Appalachian Mountains. Blending organic remains with artificial foliage and layered collage elements, the piece evokes the feeling of a relic shaped by time, memory, and transformation.

Constructed from various found materials and sealed in a durable 2-part epoxy finish, the work combines natural textures with vibrant color and intricate detail. The surface becomes a landscape of forms — eyes, patterns, and fragments merging into a dreamlike composition that feels both ancient and surreal. Balancing decay and renewal, the sculpture reflects a journey through nature, experience, and imagination, capturing the strange beauty found along the way.
