As a director, there wasn’t going to be a lot of shooting commercials in early 2020. So I rummaged through my studio and found these pieces of wood that I had painted years ago. I also happened to have collected a lot of other stuff, for you never know when or why. And a friend supplied me with lots of teeth. These things happen…
