Giant Lapis Fly, 2024

Giant Lapis Fly, 2024

3.81 x 1.44 in (WxD)
9.68 x 3.66 cm

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

Another blue fly making its way into the Mech-Fossil series;  I've always loved the shape of flies, it's easily recognizable to most people despite the ick-factor that comes with them. I always add halteres to these flies too ( the little yellow pods under the wings)  — they are an evolved second wing on flies that now act as a gyroscope during flight. 

• Certificate of Authenticity included.
• Embossed signature label on bottom of cast.
• There is a custom-made aluminum key-hole hanger on the back that is screwed to the cast, this allows the cast to float away from the wall when hung.
• Includes hanging screw for drywall or wood wall.
• There may be slight surface imperfections on all casts including small surface bubbles or curved edges. I highlight other notable blemishes in the images with a red circle.
• The cast creature is susceptible to fingerprints, clean with a small amount of window cleaner and a soft cloth.
• Keep out of direct sunlight or high-emitting UV lights.
• Avoid extreme temperatures and rapid temperature variations.
