vestigial dialogue PRINTMAKING PROJECT

Vestiges are remnants of bodily structures left behind by evolution. Our contemporary Homo sapiens tailbone - or coccyx - is a prime example of vestige. It is a nonfunctional bone inherited from bestial ancestors with a prehensile tail. This project celebrates the melancholy and poetic aspect of vestiges by juxtaposing these forsaken bones and creating a dialogue between them.
