Julie Alice Chappell makes insects using circuit boards. Wings are attached to bodies made of old computers and video games systems. The series' title is 'Computer Component Bugs'. How absolutely beautiful!

This is so-called environmental art. By her miniature sculptures the artist wants to raise awareness of environmental waste.
"The recycled bits of cultural refuse that are woven throughout my work
represent a direct encounter with the excesses of modern living
highlighting the dangers of planned obsolescence and e-waste in the
environment. The work displays an aesthetic beauty whilst offering a
socio-political discourse, attempting to reclaim waste and the
destruction of the natural world, in the beauty of visual art." (mymodernmet.com)
