Sculptor, American, born 1956

The sculpture shows a rectangular wooden box with two compartments. In the larger compartment on the right, there is a bundle of dark brown hair secured by a metallic cap at one end. The strands of hair are long and slightly wavy. In the smaller section on the left, there is a metal thimble placed upright, suggesting it is securely fastened to the box. The sculpture is presented in a minimalist style with neutral wood and metal colors. The overall look is clean and organized, drawing attention to the objects and their placement within the box.
