I enjoy the ambiguity of the segments and joints of these figures. Are they skeletal, with the joints naturally being meetings of bone?

Or do they have partial exoskeletons, like crustaceans and insects?

However one might read them, the joints lend a plausible basis for movement on land, with a liberal dose of artistic license in their placement.

​

Each piece has between twelve and twenty-five actual wood joints. Some joints get smoothed over, so are ultimately unseen. Some get carved into joints that show. And some apparent joints are simply carved in a spot that calls for one.
