Ongoing (2019) installation / synthetic fiber, mechanized electronics, pedestal / 40 x 135 x 130 cm

About / A hairy being, or the portion of its form that is visible, is positioned on a low-lying pedestal, in apparent stillness. Upon closer look, the figure is revealed to be active, as rotating elements inside cause it to move restlessly. Low buzzing, cracking, and tearing sounds arise from the actions happening inside.
