​“Robber Fly”

Made from wood offcuts, plastic (chocolate box) wire, string, cotton and aluminum.
Represented here is the Robber Fly. A large distinctive family (640 species ) of small to
large hunting flies. Active predators catching other insects on the wing. They include some
of the largest flies, with a wingspan of up to 75mm.

The enjoyment of the environment where I live, by Lake Corangamite, provides a never-
ending source of inspiration.
I hope my artworks arouse a sense of joy for the viewer in the wonder of life around us.
Recently I have developed a growing interest in the large and diverse world of insects,
much ignored unless they annoy us.
