The work has a triangular configuration, not well seen in the photos. It will be shown at the Taubman Museum in the Fall of 2021

For the creation of this work I used a process I learned while living in Baños del Incas in the Andes of Perus in 2005 and studying under a master ceramist that restored Pre-Colombian ceramic pottery. I adapted that process to create the restoring mold from the sculpture and I developed a terra-cota cold primer positive reversed. copyright©eva_rocha
