As a young artist, Christopher Marley (American, b. 1969) spent years in tropical regions where colorful, flamboyant insects are plentiful and diverse. His fascination with these exquisite creatures led to study of entomology and excursions in search of rare specimens--he emphasizes that an increased appreciation of insects can help slow humanity's destruction of their habitat, the foremost threat to their survival. Marley's work with insects reflects an enduring love for their unique beauty, as evidenced in the breathtaking photographs presented here, each accompanied by a concise profile of the featured insects. Viewed up close in Marley's graceful, minimalist arrangements, these jewel-like beings reveal themselves as stunning works of art.
