Initially, the curving was made out of bamboo..and as age and éléments graced their essence upon it, surface withering happened, plus , dropping accidents brought about cracks and we decided to do repairs to preserve the effort and the craft itself. Mimicking nature's phenomenon of petrification, gradual smears of pasted sawdust to bind and fill the spaces ensured structural restoration. The smear technique has been repeated severally combined with river sand to give the piece a stony finish , improving depth and rigidity, while preventing dégradation to the sculpture. To counter dropping incidents, a rustic frame has been built which features Reclaimed wood and plywood complemented with sand-textured paint finish for background. https://www.instagram.com/p/DOHANYAjdg-/?igsh=MXE3eTJtYWR2enE3MA==
