Petrin was a renowned sculptor who carved sheep from clay so lifelike they came alive as one flock. Petrin, overburdened with lode animals, crestfallenly abandoned his art and became a shepherd.

Petrin toiled moonscapes to create his masterwork: a duststone self portrait that was so lifelike, it became him, and he himself fell into dust.
