Dedication Thermos Urn for Lance Slom 2002

Lance Slom, a beloved New Orleans character, died of physical ailments last year and his friends pitched in to have him cremated. I was called upon to create a work of transportable art for his afterlife. This is a 1950's Thermos with glass insert removed, interior detailed and sealed; cofee pot handles and accutrements, with cremation tag attached. A friend brought over the ashes and I did the transfer myself. Lance was a big heavy guy, and the overflow was bagged and spread later. The last I heard, he was on a road trip to see many baseball games around the country.

This display was at Big Life Gifts on Magazine St. last year.
