Rhinoceros Beetle

« Wesley Fleming

(Glass Sculptures)

Rhinoceros Beetle

Among the largest of beetles, rhinoceros beetles are also the strongest animals on the planet, proportionally. They can lift up to 850 times their own weight - if a human had the strength of these beetles, it would be able to lift an Abrams Tank!

Made of Effetre glass (with encased silver foil in carapace) over a GTT Phantom. Measures about 2.5" long.

Wesley Fleming

http://myworld.ebay.com/wesley_fleming_glass

Growing up in rural Pennsylvania, I spent my days exploring the space beneath logs and rocks or reading science fiction. As a result the shapes and colors of the natural world, as well as my own wacky imagination, are the main sources for my work.

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.

Regardless of the end result, I find great joy in sculpting glass - witnessing the transformation of a brittle and cold substance to a molten and pliable material then back to a solid form again.

Sincerely,
Wesley Fleming
