CRYPTSECTARIUM I — AMBER AMULETTE

Digital sculpture, 33 seconds of rotation, released as an NFT

A gold filament sculpture like a nerve tree, its threads spreading outward, standing over a translucent amber-red block on black
A gold filament sculpture turning against black, beside a block of translucent amber-red. The filaments branch and coil like a root system, or a nerve tree pulled out whole. The block sits behind them, part solid and part glass, the same threads caught inside it. Nothing else is in the frame. It is one form drawn twice: loose in the air, and held in resin. That is what amber does — it keeps whatever fell into it. Across thirty-three seconds the two circle each other, the block comes apart into shells and closes again. Made in June 2021, between the bleach drawings and the 3D product work. His own title card calls it a digital sculpture, a 3D animation and a VR experience, and states it as an NFT. The I promises a series. Only this one is on the drive.
