Skitter Scatter stands stoic on a stratum of salt. The figure is frozen - in fear, or in the slow flow of time - its shadow carefully confined. Around the ceramic, a material most notably ,older in the making of vessels, salt acts as a protection against the intentions of those who observe it. However, the salt doesn't merely surround the sculpture - it is itself a container for the shadow, its spirit.
Salt is scattered across the floor. A careless step along the border, or the wind rushing through the open window, releases the hungry beasts beyond the threshold. Our heroes, just in time, beat back the evil hounds before their spectral teeth meet flesh.
