Excavated treasure, biological reliefs of plant, insect, or animal. Replaced by mineral over millennia. Records of the past, respect of the ancient, stories of extinction, and awareness of the life cycle. A sense of beauty and collectability, energy and memory – eternal knowledge and afterlife preserved, with a warning of a future extermination.
Vintage envelopes encased in encaustic wax. 50 letters from 100 years ago. Stories, tales, chronicles, history, gossip, speculation, fabrication, confessions, betrayals, truths, and loves. The lost and fading novella.
