This was a really challenging scan due to the large number of individual gum nuts surrounding the piece. I had to do a couple of attempts and did two scan runs. One focuses' on the main wood piece, and the other focuses' on the gum nuts. I am very happy with how it turned out and the detail captured in the gum nuts. More info on the art work below:

‘Virus Man is a bad guy, a villain; he wants to try and destroy the world by making everyone sick. He goes up people’s noses … When the virus goes inside, it kills. When virus goes in the body, it spreads through whole body, it knocks him down, dead … The virus man, he destroys a lot of people around the world. It happened in 2020, when it spread like that.’
