The Salmon vertebrae were developed as an organic long-term process. After catching a salmon on the Kyseen River, Morgan collected the vertebrae and cleaned and dried them in the sun. She was able to create nature casts and learned how to prepare them in metal. The lengthy process consisted of cleaning and grinding out holes in each piece to capture the incredible texture and unqiueness of each vertebrae.
