If you would like to purchase this piece without the outer frame, I will discount $300.00 USD from the price — you would need to email me at info@lextalkingtonart.com before purchasing for me to set this up. Please see the last image to understand what will be received if you select not to buy the frame.

It is almost unbelievable the variety of insects I can find in the evenings under the light here in Georgia — the main catalyst for this piece. The large scarab beetle and the swallowtail butterfly are flanked by three small beetles (look close!) making their ways through the foliage.

The frame design is CNC-cut from several 1/2 inch thick layers of MDF along with three aluminum laser-cut rings that adorn the face. I apply one coat of sealer to all MDF parts, the center panel is sealed and painted white. The brackets and cable hanger are attached to this central panel.
