This installation is ONLY 1 of 9 in the US & PR! This is Bo. He is snug in the woods sitting next to a creek. His left hand is clutching a tree (built around) which I thought was clever. And I can’t get over the feet. 🖤

It was five years ago today that closed their brick and mortar. Some days it seems as if it has been so much longer. The next chapter has been hard and not as expected necessarily. The future remains to be told. I want to wish everyone a Happy Halloween. This is my absolute favorite holiday and that was why I chose to close my brick and mortar on that day. 👻🎃🧛🏻‍♀️🖤
