Nabla Bodywork
Myoflorae
Myoflorae is the artistic branch of my practice. I raise livestock rabbits and aim to leave nothing to waste. Sometimes, the resulting bone articulations and leather work may be called "oddities." However, I think there's nothing more natural than curiosity about the mechanics of life and death. The "livestock" descriptor is also a misnomer. I know and love each of these little people, from birth to death. They are beauties through and through.
With each piece, I appreciate of the life from which it came. I also try to reflect the interconnections of our anatomies and the world around us. There's a reason I keep this page nested in my bodywork site.
I am happy to discuss pickup options in the Triangle, NC. Unfortunately, I am not able to ship pieces at this time.

Pet Memorial Pieces
My work with my rabbits has gifted me a particular set of skills. For some, these skills can offer cherished mementos of the furry loves in our lives. Pet mementos may include paws, bones, and wet-preserved organs. I do not currently offer traditional taxidermy for pet memorials.
Interested in this service? Let's chat! Due to this service's logistical challenges, advance planning is very helpful. Time and space are of the essence, as is coordination with burial or cremation plans. I may currently need to work (discreetly) at your home property.
Curious? Below is a questionnaire I walk through with clients. You can e-mail me at myoflorae@gmail.com.
Ew... Bones?
Bones aren't for everyone. I respect that. But look closer. They aren't plastic. They're organic matter. I reuse the ammonia and hydrogen peroxide used for cleaning and whitening, and I dispose of it properly when necessary. Any part that we cannot use is composted. Nothing gross about that.
