I made this dinosaur for an art class at Oberlin College. Unfortunately, it wasn’t strong enough to transport, so I had to get rid of it. I’d like to make another dinosaur out of sturdier materials.

The piece was inspired by my brother’s extensive knowledge of dinosaurs as a child. Children have an innate desire to learn fueled by their wonder and enthusiasm about the world. I wanted to remind people that we all have that in us; and give tribute to my brother.
