Chris Goodwin made these little insect sculptures out of found objects - anything from screws to razor blades. One of these bugs could take him about four hours to figure out how to fit the pieces together without any adhesive.
He says, “ I like to think of them as high maintenance, exotic pets. Ornamental and not for snuggling.” That is understandable especially with the insect made from sharp objects!
