50 individually handmade wasps make up this stunning installation.
These undervalued insects play an important role in safeguarding us and our future.
Their protection, invasion or extinction is dictated by the very fine balance connected to a fluctuating environment and changing climate.
The collection is very versatile – any form or size can be created depending on how each individual wasp is placed.
Their wings gently move when caught by a breeze.
Previously exhibited at the Other Art Fair, London and Insect Odyssey Exhibition, Salisbury Museum, UK.
The wasps have metal pins from two legs allowing them to be placed on any drillable surface, giving the illusion of being weightlessly attached. A drill bit is included to assist with the installation as well as instructions.
Please contact me if you’d like me to install these and for an additonal fee.
Resin, Gloss Paint, Jesmonite, Wire and Gold Leaf.
