About

This exhibition celebrates the beauty and power of insects at a time of increasing threat to many common species. Five international artists are showing work about bees, beetles, butterflies and moths, through drawings, paintings, film, etchings, installation, to explore some of their intricacy and wonder, but also some of the fears we experience when encountering them. Insects bug us - we fear their stings, we are annoyed at the holes they make in our clothing, we scream at their shiny carapaces, we suffer the germs they can spread. But these fears also contribute to their death and disappearance, caused largely by damage we are creating through the use of pesticides in farm, garden and home, and from the effects of global warming.
