I'll be posting my latest assemblages here over the next few days. There are 18, all of which 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." Here's one of the larger assemblages.
Panchlora nivea: Virgil
Assemblage
$950
Cuban cockroaches are found in the Caribbean and southern U.S. It lives outdoors, so is not considered a pest. In fact it is a popular pet roach due to its relatively pleasant green color, and because it is not an invasive indoor species. It is also used as food for other pets.
Virgil is handsome and brave and could stand guard at your front door. No self-respecting Periplaneta americana (American cockroach) would have the nerve to cross his path.
Materials: Found blue spruce hand-carved vase, antique table leg, motorcycle windshield wipers, kitchen utensils, antique buttons, lamp base, springs, wire, fasteners, eyeglass temples, electrical parts, clay, paint.
Dimensions: 50" x 15" x 20"
