Artist Julie Alice Chappell has created Computer Component Bugs, a gorgeous line of delicately graceful insect sculptures crafted from recycled computer circuit boards and other “printed ephemera.”
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. I use found and manufactured materials because they can comment upon the accumulation of cultural debris and become their own subjective universes as they build form into patterns of the communicative behaviour of life processes.
Chappell has a number of her creations currently up for sale both through her Etsy Shop and through her Facebook page, where she asks interested parties to message her for more details.
