A tall, thin figure caught mid-spit. Its head is a burl of bark from Breunfeld, Germany, with a steel collar for a mouth, and a single red polyurethane drop flies off on a long arc of wire. A silver spout and a drop-shaped ornament form the neck and sex, and an ’80s pop-top hangs as a necktie. The body is a model train engine carrying an Ecuadorian shaman’s amulet bottle, meant to ward off evil and attract prosperity. One twig arm ends in a red pom-pom, and the figure stands in a single glossy red shoe dressed with quinceañera trinkets, on a gray block.
