Wire Natural Specimens

A rare and unusual antique natural taxidermy specimen of a Piranha. Amazon River Basin, South America, belonging to the Serrasalmidae family, Characiformes order, most likely a Red Bellied Piranha - Pygocentrus Nattereri. This exotic specimen is mounted on a simple metal wire stand with shaped base. Posed at an angle, with large painted eyes, mouth ajar, with distinctive sharp jagged vicious teeth exposed. Makes for a fascinating decorative object, intriguing curiosity, oddity, and charming coastal...

Drawing their name from the geological term indicating petrified fragments spat from volcanoes, the objects from the Tephra series are handcrafted using real, specially treated flowers mounted on sculptural forms made of steel wire and jute. Metallised using a thermo-coating technique that covers the dense textures in a paper-thin layer of molten metal, the structures preserve the eternal blossom in an almost Pompeiian effect of silhouettes covered in volcanic debris. The form of the Tephra Sculpture 006 comes from the study of plants’ anatomy, revealing an unexpected complexity of botanic forms that symbolise nature’s creativity. The sewing, bending and welding interlaced with the sublime fragility of flowers are blended, and in fact muted, by the rigidity of the industrial metallisation process. Cocooned by streams of liquified metal and finished by hand to achieve a polished or matte texture, the sculptures, reminiscent of monochrome bas-reliefs, establish a new field of exploration for Marcin Rusak Studio...
