The child and reflection were created from 12 logs of wood collected after construction work and tree trimming maintenance: skin (olive wood branches), pants (very young redwood), shirt (unknown, perhaps a young eucalyptus or sycamore). The reclaimed redwood burl slab on which the child is mounted was donated by Adam Dias. The sculpture is not yet finished, but will be comprised of approximately 50 individually caved pieces held together with glue and wooden dowels. The redwood burl slab on which the child is mounted will be carved to resemble a river and words of the incarcerated and free artists from this zine, spoken during their weekly phone calls together will be wood burnt throughout the “river�. When finished, it will not be clear who spoke which lines.
