Eighteen of my latest found object assemblages will be on display and (most) for sale at the Oliver Center for the Arts July 28 - September 8, 2017 as part of an exhibition, "Bugs, Birds and Beasts." This is my version of an Australian species of praying mantids.
Archimantis latistyla: Brunneis
$425
Assemblage
Materials: antique shoe form, kitchen tools, vintage jewelry and buttons, copper wire, flatware, fasteners, wire, paint.
Dimensions: 14" x 8" x 15"
Brunneis is based on the large brown mantis, a species native to Australia. They are beneficial garden insects who prey on pests. Adults can jump about a meter and attack large prey, such as small birds, frogs, and lizards. While a praying mantis will bite if provoked, the bite is not venomous.
