Nix's first work is one of his largest, six feet tall and three feet wide. "Bone Calling" is an abstract patterns made from bones over a board covered with fabric that he completed in 1997. The bones are mostly cow jaws, dog skulls, deer skulls and bones and "various other bits and pieces.""I was always interested in horror and dark arts and just weird things in general: oddities, freaks of nature. I had expressed interest to a friend of mine who has a farm that I was interested in getting some animal bones.
