Aestivation hypha-hq burnished and waxed to produce

burnished and waxed to produce depth of colour and lustre helping to unify the colouration

The hair holds knowledge in its very form

creating a wave like motion that is transient and changing

the bleeds are revealed

Inspired by the neolithic monument

Aestivation hypha-hq burnished and waxed to produceAestivation is the dormancy period some creatures enter in response to heat. Like hibernation, aestivation is a process of preservation. It prevents water loss and allows the organism to focus energy inwards. The organism can retain water and conserve energy by stabilizing organs, cells, and specific macromolecules. This sculpture highlights introspection and yielding to extreme conditions with the understanding that external pressures will pass.
