Abstract: This article responds to the large scale sculptural work by eco-political artist
\nMichele Beevors, whose work has recently been extensively exhibited in New Zealand,
\nAustralia, and Austria. She brings her audience close to the tragedies of eco-extinction
\nand the brutalities of human interaction with our vulnerable animal co-species. The
\narticle considers her work through four frames: 1. Violence: Dissection and Restitution;
\n2. Death: Specimen and Requiem; 3. Grief: Solastalgia and Entanglement; and 4. Labour:
\nMateriality and Companionship. Through these four frames, the artist\u2019s exploration of
\nhuman relationships with non-human forms of life is highlighted as based in decolonial,
\nfeminist and activist values. The text includes memories and reflections from the au-
\nthor\u2019s life where relevant to the themes presented by the artist.<\/p>\n

Keywords: sculpture, eco-political, animal ethics, extinction, solastalgia, care<\/p>\n
