The delicate balancing act between mankind and the natural environment is herein exemplified by the presence of a gold leafed image of a male Earwig, flying in a renaissance sky as a revelation. Earwigs only very occasionally open their double jointed multipleated wings because the wings are partially practical in flight and take a lot of time to restore to their wing cases after use. 1220mm x 1220mm yarns on gold leaf and acrylic gesso on panel.
