The animals are often myself, often people I know. I see people that way. Not negatively, but that they are sometimes like frogs and fish and birds to me. The bugs are about how we see beauty in our culture. Beauty is largely nowadays about conformity.
Insects have such wild diversity.
Their beauty is in that diversity. The fish in the stream series is about seasons of life. My father fished and took my fishing. I never wanted to catch anything. I just wanted to watch them live their watery lives.
