Soul Books
This is part of a series of porcelain figures called “Soul Books.” Figures with books in them represent a symbolic and tactile way of being able to reach into someone’s soul without embarrassment, censorship, or fear. Both human and animal-like figures—all represent the importance of every creature to the world.
Herbivore
A response to unethical and unhealty practice of feeding cows other cows and things they are not meant to eat. This is not only harmful to the animals, but creates unsafe conditions for both the planet and human health. For instance, mad cow disease, and the pollution of ground water and air.
