Bold Beryllium Jumping Spider, 2024

Bold Beryllium Jumping Spider, 2024
Found objects (camera parts, watch parts, electronics, transformer wire), pressure-cast urethane resin, alum/brass hanger.

Inspired by the Bold jumping spider (aka Daring jumping spider), this cuddler is made primarily of older vintage resistors, various found ferrules and electronic parts. It's subtle, but there are a series of red hairs along the back of the spider — one of the small surprises you'll see if it's in your hands. In the last photo you'll see this has a tiny divot on the side where the resin didn't release from the mold.
