About the artwork
A proto-unit emerges inside a bent observation field, its surface temper shifting between mineral and cartoon matter. The underlying terrain runs on slow-clock cycles while peripheral character clusters misfire in peripheral arcs. Cable-veins sweep across the frame, conducting stray impulses like a nervous system unsure of its host.
