Christopher Marley, Blue morpho butterflies and gem-like beetles form a kaleidoscopic glimpse into nature.
Exquisite Creatures
To Sep 30
Artist/preservationist Christopher Marley’s exhibition—built on the backs of literally thousands of curated insects—draws gasps of wonder from viewers, even those usually creeped out by bugs. Resplendent birds, exotic fish, arresting reptiles and unusual flora are also represented in gorgeous assemblages that organize the marvels of nature inside the rarefied taxonomy of the artist. Sustainably collected postmortem from museums, scientists, institutions and individuals, these creatures present an argument for environmental protections that cannot be denied. christophermarley.com
