Julie Alice Chappell's Exquisite Insects Made From Circuit Boards
/
Portsmouth, UK artist Julie Alice Chappell (see FB Page) repurposes discarded circuit boards into miniature sculptures of insects. Through her series ‘Computer Component Bugs’ the artist strives to raise awareness about 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.
