About the Item
Much of my work is about challenging our natural responses to situations, species and people who may seem somehow different to us. For me (and many others) spiders like these are challenging provoking feelings of fear and even disgust. “For many the idea of seeing the beauty in specimens like this is challenging. But I guess when Fiona the spider gazes into the (many) eyes of Jon the spider she at some level sees beauty and feels love, so who am I to judge?”
Framed piece comprising of seven preserved spiders with legs forming a heart.
Connections 2023 features the Acanthoscurria Ferina spider. Found commonly in Peru, Bolivia, Brazil, and French Guiana.
Many of my specimens come from historical collections, others through from breeding and conservation projects

- One In A BillionLocated in Dallas, TXSpace has always fascinated me, it engages with my inquisitive mind, like I suppose it has done since we’ve been on this planet. It has inspired wonder, mythology and science since the days when the only tools humans had to look on it were their eyes. Now it seems the more that we discover the more awe it has to offer and we’re searching within it for the answers to many of the important questions we have about our own existence. My fascination with it however has also always been a deeply emotional one, like somehow despite so much of it being on an inconceivable scale, I’m somehow connected to it and it somehow reflects my emotions. Often when I think about it I can feel an overwhelming sense of vulnerability and isolation even utter insignificance when faced with its enormity “Look again at that pale blue dot… every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there – on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam” Carl Sagan But think again and it can engender emotions of importance, uniqueness and potential, good fortune to think that given its enormity and the sheer improbability of us being here that somehow we are, and we actually are aware of it and we should be thankful that somehow it gave birth to us. “The cosmos is within us. We are made of star-stuff. We are a way for the universe to know itself” Carl Sagan The Milky Way, our home galaxy is home to up to an estimated 400 billion stars. One in a Billion comprises of 28 perfectly preserved butterfly...Category
