The Human Organizations Project

The Human Organizations project is a series of silverpoint miniatures. Each group is collected by a different individual who receives them at irreguar intervals. And boy do I mean irregular! I have been working on this project for 2 or 3 years and it will continue for some time. At least part of the inspiration for these microworks were the tea cards you used to get in packages of teabags. There were series of birds, mammals, plants. The HO project creates a series of "humans". Of course they look nothing like humans, which is just my way of being funny, or ironic, or something....
