There are various curiosities on my mantelpiece that crop up, move around, appear and disappear. This is a cannonball from the Civil War and a little creature man from Japan. The two joined forces for this picture. I have used the cannonball in photographs many times, because it’s visually appealing to me. There’s nothing light about it. The little muffin man is called Smiski, and he is a Japanese glow-in-the-dark toy. When I put the two together something clicked. It seemed to represent several concepts at once.
