This is the companion piece of this brass cast: https://mastoart.social/@enriquericos/117242506727379608

Now the collab is with termites. They had tunneled the handle of an abandoned shovel (and left long before I found it), so I sliced it to reveal the structure.

I still haven't figured out how to display it.

I did find some phone pics of the process. The most interesting steps are missing, but it's better than nothing.

Brass cast little sculpture of a wood cube showing tunnels carved by a woodworm. Of course the tree was already firewood when I found it, I only cut it into a rough cube. And the woodworm was long gone: Wherever you are, I hope you're OK, it was nice making this collab with you.

Besides pixelart, I'll post "traditional" art too, like this little brass-casted installation I made by slicing wood, to show the tunnels carved by termites in an old tool I found. Keep in mind that this is more of my thing than pixelart.
