HARLEQUIN (ACROCINUS LONGIMANUS) I 2023

HARLEQUIN (ACROCINUS LONGIMANUS) I 2023

 

Harlequin (Acrocinus longimanus) | Recycled Paper, Wire and Thread | 16cm x 32cm x 5cm | 2023.

 

A life sized study of a Harlequin Beetle which can be found in tropical forests from South Mexico to Uruguay.

 

Each insect starts life as a tight roll of paper which is hand carve like a piece of wood to create their 3D bodies. Their shells are cut from paper and attached to the bodies before wire legs wrapped with thread are attached. Some insects are painted using water colours to create a particular pattern and others make use of the colours and textures I find already printed in the books and magazine I've collected. Their legs and antenna have been made from wires, wrapped with embrodiery threads.

 

The frames are handmade for each display from solid wood and glass. This particular frame has been made from Ash wood and lightly oiled. It has a wire on the back so it is ready to hang from a hook in the wall.

 

In order to keep your piece looking its best, hang it away from direct sunlight and avoid areas where there is a lot of moisture such as in a bathroom.
