I watched the movie “Aliens” last night, but really this has nothing to do with that.
I recently shipped a small, delicate sculpture called Predatory Lending to a purchaser in the next state. Packing it was an adventure.
One small predator, one sturdy box.
Packing materials. A cradle is already built in the bottom of the box.
Predator snuggled all tight in its bed.
I really shouldn’t have watched Aliens last night, because “bed” rhymes with “dead.” Anyway, the packing material will hold it down.
Some final bracing to guard against crushing. The final box weighs less than 3 lbs. Ship it!
Predatory Lending, balsa, graphite, coins. 8.25 x 5.5 x 11 inches, 2008. Private collection.
