Perfect — here it is in a super clean copy version:
From my Entomology Series, this wooden robot is carved from the same ancient old growth redwood that Timber Mountain was made from, carrying forward the same history, character, and sense of place. Though redwood is naturally light, this piece has been stabilized, giving it added weight, durability, and resilience against the elements while preserving the soul and character of the original wood.
Standing taller than the others in the series at 18 inches, this piece has a more commanding silhouette while still holding the same sense of stillness and wonder. The entire back side is left live edge, giving it a more raw, weathered presence—as if part of the tree’s original form still refuses to let go. Brass ring inlays bring a subtle mechanical rhythm to the form, balancing the organic flow of the wood with hints of structure and design.
Its eyes are made from real honeycomb set before luminous mother of pearl, giving them a layered depth that feels both natural and celestial. In its chest rests a single yellow carpenter bee from Java, suspended before mother of pearl like a preserved relic.
As with all of my pieces, every cut is a memory of the forest.
This work continues my exploration of timber and insect life as vessels of story, memory, and transformation—where reclaimed wood, natural specimens, and handwork meet to create something that feels both discovered and made.
