Bone and metal grow together as one unit. A sister piece, [homologous monstrosity #2 (horn)], was made from a clarinet section fused to a deer antler. These were intended to be the first in a series that involve the unlikely melding of disimilar objects. They represent a significant departure from my other work wherein the objects are fitted together to look like some plausable thing. In this case, the objects obviously do not belong together.
