Domestic Goat skull - The Joker - he just makes me laugh to look at him! With the lower jaw intact on this guy, he leers at me with a badboy sneer. If he were a human, he'd surely show up at your door to pick up your daughter with a leather jacket and cigarette dangling from his mouth.
The Joker is highlighted with a red enamel heart pin, surrounded by rows of sparkling cranberry, gold and silver seed beads. He is mounted on driftwood collected by my father from Buffalo Bison near Cody, Wyoming in the mid-1970s.
This piece was created for a local Valentine's exhibit at Goza Gallery in Minneapolis, Love, or whatever... opening Friday, February 9 - 24th, 2024.
