Strange antlers lie scattered across the floor and up the walls, as if shed by species no one has ever met. Some come from the past, sculpted after images of fossils several million years old. Others are speculations, sculpted after generative AI projections of how today’s cervids might evolve. Each bears a Latin-rooted name, some recorded and some invented, with no hierarchy between them. The encaustic surface releases synthetic musks held in beeswax. They are present by their scent before they are seen.
