The Artifact Lifecycle illustrates the journey of a little clay cow, from excavation to officially becoming a part of the Spurlock Museum’s collection. This piece was commissioned by the Spurlock Museum at the University of Illinois for their 100th Anniversary exhibit. I worked with museum staff to develop a story board and character to bring the cow to life.
