</p><p class="MsoNormal">The figures in Beetlekill are crafted from beetle-killed pine wood, and feature the unique blue-grey and
yellow-orange streaks typical of trees affected by the mountain pine beetle.
Each figure has a distinct shape and composition, with some combining materials
like plastic, metal, and bone. The lighting casts shadows that enhance the composition’s
dimensionality and evoke themes of decay, transformation, and resilience.</p><p class="MsoNormal"><br></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: inherit; font-size: 1.5rem;">Important Auction Info</span></p><p data-start="1249" data-end="1580" style="margin-bottom: 1rem; max-width: 78%;"></p><ul data-start="1686" data-end="2188"><li data-start="1686" data-end="1750"><p data-start="1688" data-end="1750" style="max-width: 78%;"><span data-start="1688" data-end="1708" style="font-weight: 600;">Create a profile</span> on the auction platform to place a bid.</p></li><li data-start="1751" data-end="1885"><p data-start="1753" data-end="1885" style="max-width: 78%;"><span data-start="1753" data-end="1772" style="font-weight: 600;">Winning bidders</span> will receive both the artwork and a <span data-start="1809" data-end="1835" style="font-weight: 600;">charitable tax receipt</span> for any amount paid <span data-start="1856" data-end="1882" style="font-weight: 600;">above the starting bid</span>.</p></li><li data-start="1886" data-end="1976"><p data-start="1888" data-end="1976" style="max-width: 78%;">Artworks are <span data-start="1901" data-end="1914" style="font-weight: 600;">unmounted</span>.
