Pumpkins

{More images below text}

Description:  This is a series of cast pumpkins taken from an original 700lb. pumpkin.  The original was an agriculturally engineered hybrid or "freak of nature."  The repetitive aspect of the casting process, stemming from one pattern,  is a metaphor to the idea of hybridization or cloning.

The Edition:  The "Pumpkin Series"  is an open ended edition.  My intention is to create as many pumpkins as possible, siting them in a variety of locations.  Knowing that when you look at one grouping of Pumpkins, that there is another grouping in another setting, expands their meaning; making them part of a greater collective.
