Thoughts behind this insect:
She has all her attention on eating, capturing prey and procreating.
The large feelers at the front detect the least vibration from prey, the powerful jaws can crush even the toughest insect carapace.
The swollen hindquarters with the long sensory cerci and the sparkling diamond attract males, who are fated to die after mating.
This Queen reigns supreme in her hunting grounds.
Habitat:
The matriarch’s territory is a landscape booming with desire, power and feminism.
Materials:
Copper frame, background of copper, brass and aluminium.
This piece is an element in a composite artistic work, and is part of the HABITAT project.
