Ground Beetle infected with Horsehair Worm
Mixed media wax sculpture constructed from modeling wax, copper wire, paint brush hair and spray paint. My piece is inspired by the brutality of nature which can be both terrifying and awe inspiring. The Ground Beetle which has the Horsehair Worm inside it is forced to commit suicide by Jumping into water, so that the Worm can emerge and lay it's eggs.
