Eupatorus - Gracilicornis

Crystal Lake, IL

Entomology - the study of bugs

Ontology -the philosophical study of the nature of being, becoming, existence, or reality, as well as the basic categories of being and their relations.

Take, for example, the Eupatorus Gracilicornis or the Rhinoceros Beetle and force a decay into a pre-determined plot or grid. The merger between the spacial reality, 'the grid', and the once living specie of nature are now forced to interact unlike they would in their previous state of being. The two drawings below depict this forced interaction and as a result a new contextual outcome can develop. The third element would be the existence of space as a result of the previous. Open to interpretation the existence of such space offers a look as to what may become. Partially void of previous scalar or typological boundaries a new experience arises.
