About this artwork
Goliath Beetle sculpture with claws and sting placed on a petrified wooden plate - 15.000 high-quality Swarovski crystals in earth-like colors set by hand.
The artist created new species of taxidermical animals prepared from individual original components of formerly living animals and organically assembled into biomorphic chimeras, thereby creating a fascinating world of new mystic, different creatures. They document the beauty and connection… with nature and are a symbol of evolution. Every creature has its individual story and heritage, making all of them unique in their existence. With the soul gone, the body becomes just an ornament. These objects are reshaped, transformed, and brought back to life to regain their place as a symbol of nature's beauty. The hybrid creatures are studded then with tens of thousands of millimeter-sized Swarovski crystals in detailed craftsmanship. The recurring theme in all her artwork.
