Collagen is found in the flesh and connective tissues of mammals. It is the main component of connective tissue, and is the most abundant protein in mammals, making up about 25% to 35% of the whole-body protein content. 

Moving off the canvas developing a material made of rabbit gelatin and calcium carbonate (skin and bone). While drying the material shrinks giving the surface natural folds bubbles and tears.

Pipetted Chew 

A painting using chew tobacco chaw as medium. Part performance part craft.  This painting's use of rejected material tries to beautify this destructive habit forming routine.
