Scarab Beetle (SB07), 2024

Scarab Beetle, 2024
1224-SB07

2.06 x 1.07 in (WxD)
5.23 x 2.72 cm

Found objects (vintage camera, watch and electro-mechanical parts), pressure-cast urethane resin. 

These approximate 2-inch casts are a new format in the Mech-Fossil collection. I wanted to offer a more affordable option in the Mech-Fossil series and after a years of experimentation, I am happy enough with some of these tiniest insect assemblages to release them as individual specimens. These are hand-signed on the back and include an optional magnet with a sticky-back to adhere to the back of the cast along with small metal plate that can be hung on the wall which the magnet will stick to. If you'd like to sit one level on a shelf I'd recommend acquiring some 'Museum Putty' or 'Quake Hold' which can be found at most hardware stores or online. 

• Includes sticky-back magnet and metal plate for hanging.
• There may be slight surface imperfections on all casts including small surface bubbles or curved edges. Anything overtly noticeable will be noted above.
• 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.
