Wesley Fleming’s glass insects feature an incredible level of detail. Take a look, for example, at the amber claws on the fire stag. It’s astounding, especially considering that most of these pieces are no more than two inches across.
With some of my glass beetles for example, I try to capture and mimic an actual species with intricate detail on the tiny limbs and thorax. While in other pieces, I attempt to bring into being a creature from an inner reality or a dream. In some cases I merge the fantastical with the real through choice of color palette or by referencing familiar images in a mythical work.
