Mr. Spy

Stamped: 101/007 – GJERSEN 925.

Agent Blow-Fly Silver with rutilated quartz and gold proboscis. Large, iridescent, stunning and seductive, mysterious, exotic and with a great sense of humour.

The ideas behind this insect:
Life as a blow-fly may not be all that exotic, and humans tend to express disgust at its presence. They are no doubt thinking about hygiene, and where it last touched down…

Here I’ve elevated the chubby blow-fly to Agent Spy. Iridescent wings, intensely black eyes alert, and antennae primed, he’s a smooth operator. Mr. Spy is sporting his pin-striped suit fashioned from rutilated quartz.

Habitat:
Mr. Spy is caught on the grain of the gun’s muzzle, if you remove the ring you will see that it is sitting in a kiss, The kiss of death.

Materials:
Copper frame, rusted iron plate, black stained copper, gilded copper.

This piece is an element in a composite artistic work, and is part of the HABITAT project.

Offered for sale with a proviso granting the artist the right to exhibit the sold item.
