Mammal skull project
Hired, supervised and assisted Earl Lock Inc. to fabricate mounts for and install 50 mammal skulls into a new display case within a two- month period. To complete this project, I coordinated and secured unlimited access to the School of Art's metals shop and provided mount-making internship work experience for two School of Art graduate students.
