This casting done by Raven McClain, brought to my attention how much I have come to resemble Benjamin Franklin in my old age. So on the right - as you face it - a torn facsimilie of Ben, as he sits on a $100 bill, is torn and glued to the image and under the chin. Most of the piece is covered in green tissue, also symbolic of living foliage and currency. The left half of the face is a photo of me as a 4 year old, cut into segments. Honeysuckle vine withers...and the loveliness of red Sumac lasts as long as it can. Thus we go from our youth to our end.
