This is my ear. A cast taken of my ear–it was damaged (the cast, not my ear) so we had to redo it.

Leo Abaya is making casts of the body parts of different people for a mixed-media piece. Last year he made an installation that involved people’s butts.

He had the models sit on paint, then sit on white upholstery.

I did not have to sit on paint. If I did we would need a bigger chair. I only had to have something cold poured into my outer ear. My ear was plugged up with cotton so the stuff didn’t slosh into my brain.

What is my interest in this project? I get a pair of earrings out of it. Earrings in the shape of my own ears! So it’ll look like I have four ears.
