INSECTICIDE AN ART EXHIBITION May 15 thru June 22, 2010

ARTIST STATEMENT

The insect’s world is a constructed world, like ours. In these pieces (sculptures or wearable works) I love to be inspired by their clean shapes and the mathematical growth of form or to get involved with following their slow processes to create snares or shelters or aggregations or, simply, beautiful things.

Featured Works – RED
