Original artwork description:

Caprinette is a cute, slightly bizarre little creature from the goat family.

She is part of the Ostreides series, which expresses the complexity of life in its search for the most appropriate form to survive, as well as the wisdom of the mind applied to the transformation of matter.

It is made from a very special and rare wooden material: the solid wood of a wood-decomposing fungus that has long been used to heal wounds and light fires. Tinder grows on the trunks of dead or diseased trees, becoming as hard as the trees themselves by feeding on wood cellulose.

The wood from the tinderbox is supplemented with shaped, dried and painted surfine wood pulp.

Signed piece.
