Joro, 2024

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

THIS PIECE WILL SHIP AFTER TUESDAY, JULY 23rd. I need the finishes to cure longer on these displays :)

Though it is not native to North America, the Joro spider ranks as one of my favorites around the yard here in Georgia. They get almost this size and are very timid. Joros build very large webs several feet across, they can build 3-layer webs with a fore-web, a main orb web, then an aft-web. They're recognizable for they're yellow and grey abdomens and the red/orange patterns on their bellies. This piece can rotated to display the top or bottom of this specimen. There is a seam line around the edge as this was cast in two parts. There are a few important notes regarding the display / frame — instructions will be included when shipped. Here is a video of the display design: https://vimeo.com/985868757
