” I am a multi media Canadian artist who is interested in language and communication; how knowledge is transported and transcribed between humans and other species. I am interested in inter species communication. I have chosen to sculpt and draw collaboratively with the honeybees for the past 14 years. My research has included the bee’s use of sound, sight, scent, vibration, and dance. I am studying the bee’s use of the earth’s magnetic fields as well as their use of the pheromones (chemicals) they produce to communicate with one another, with other species and possibly with the foliage they pollinate.” – Aganetha Dyck

“Abnormal Beauty” by Steve Poxson. Photographs (or scans?) of insects create a beautifully clean pattern. More at the artist’s site, including one of mice that I really like.

The Argentinean, multi-talented Juan Gatti is generally known as a commercial photographer and graphic designer, often collaborating with film director Pedro Almodovar. His lesser known work includes anatomy drawings of human body in combination with the taxonomy of plants and of exotic animals.

Ysabel Lemay

At first glance you might think you’re looking at ornate nature paintings. While the images are indeed art, they’re actually composed of hundreds of different photographs that were taken individually. Quebec, Canada-born artist Ysabel LeMay not only shoots these photographs, she carefully assembles them together until she gets her desired result. Each work takes her, on average, between 4 to 8 weeks to complete. This process is called “Photo-Fusion.”
“Each branch, each flower, each leaf is photographed and positioned one by one,” she tells us. “Every insect, every plant, every bird that I capture with my lens has an individuality that I want to enhance and share with the viewer. I believe it is often in the simple details wherein lies divinity.”

Claire Morgan suspends plant and animal life with precise detail to create a moment of action frozen in time.

For me, creating seemingly solid structures or forms from thousands of individually suspended elements has a direct relation with my experience of these forces. There is a sense of fragility and a lack of solidity that carries through all the sculptures. I feel as if they are somewhere between movement and stillness, and thus in possession of a certain energy.
Animals, birds and insects have been present in my recent sculptures, and I use suspense to create something akin to freeze frames. In some works, animals might appear to rest, fly or fall through other seemingly solid suspended forms. In other works, insects appear to fly in static formations. The evidence of gravity - or lack of it - inherent in these scenarios is what brings them to life, or death.
