So I've been making a lot of bugs recently and I'd thought I'd explain what it's all about.  The work is inspired by origami and focuses on the efficient use of materials.  In origami you start with a square sheet of paper and fold and fold and fold and end up with a creature with a head, body, limbs and if you're a real maestro finger and toes too!  And all this from a single piece of paper, no cuts, no throwing away bits that you don't use.  Similar to origami my bugs start with rectangular strips of metal.  A design is hand cut and then folded to produce the creatures.  This technique achieves my ultimate goal of minimising waste.
