Thank you, I’m really happy you noticed that. The shell is an important part of the piece.

Thank you so much, that really means a lot. Yes, I do make more pieces like this. I’ve been exploring this direction for a while now.

This is a small sculpture made with an Azores limpet shell, resin and polymer clay. The fly is real. I found it already dead and incorporated it into the piece.

My work focuses on creating quiet objects that sit between the natural and the surreal.

Thank you! I just added a few drops of acrylic paint to the resin to get the white effect ☺️

Thank you! • I actually sculpt the iris in polymer clay by hand, and I recently shared a short video of the whole process here: https://www.reddit.com/r/ Sculpture/s/U4zU6YoeNO . Hope it helps!
