[ID from Alt: A diagram of an anatomical cross section, stylised to mimic vintage scientific diagrams, with cyan lines on a cream background. The subject appears somewhere between a tree trunk, a cell and an eye. There are concentric, circular layers of biological and botanical matter. At the center sits a starburst nucleus, surrounded by successive strata including chitin, iris, ocular fluid, tendons, cilia, nerves, fibre, blood, bark, and an outer miasma layer. A network system runs through the structure including mycelium, lumbricina, star fragment, a.v., taproot, and chenille stem. End ID]

The Wolf beholds a Star

[accessible-art]

[ID from Alt: A canine figure, rendered in digital loose ink line, folds its body over — spine arching into a dome — to bring its inverted head close to a small asterisk on the ground. The creature’s ears lay on the earth, mouth open in a soft pant, eyes open. The posture is ungainly,total physical commitment to looking at something small and terrestrial — a black asterisk or “star”. The fur is suggested in gestural strokes. The animal is, wholeheartedly, paying attention. End ID]
