Gold Plated Stag Beetle Story:
The Gold Plated Stag Beetle is portrayed as if in a Museum Entomology display - pinned to the backboard. The Stag Beetle is splayed out evenly and is decorated with golden body patterning, on a plain background and surrounded by a simple frame with organic contour lines. The piece is coloured black with a blended dark leathery red and metallic highlights.
The Stag Beetle
The beetle’s appearance in diverse cultures reveals that the insect has different meanings to many people.
The earliest meaning of the beetle was largely symbolic and based on mythology. Mayate bug, scarab, and June bugs all have spiritual meanings like all insects. Insects have always been rather magical to humans because of the part they have played in the origin of life.
They have always been rather mysterious to humans. Up until the late 17th Century, Europeans believed beetles and other bugs to spontaneously generate from dead and decaying matter. For this reason, the black beetle in house meaning was believed to be death or even spirits in the house. Scarab beetle meaning and meaning of black beetles from ancient Egypt to Congo was creation, renewal, and rebirth. Experts even say that the scarab beetle symbol delivers a profound cultural message through its life stages. They are also linked to the human soul. While all insect meaning and symbolism are sacred and magical, the beetle symbolism is the earliest. This is proved by the fact that the oldest known insect sculpture is that of the burying beetles.
Creating the Gold Plated Stag Beetle
I created the design in Auckland, starting with a digital illustration, then bringing the illustration into my CNC Program where I make a 2.5D model of the artwork. From the 2.5D model I generate the g-code or CNC cutting code ready for the carving process. The material is loaded on the CNC machine and the piece is carved over a few hours. The carved art piece is then inspected, sanded, sealed, sanded again, painted, varnished and finally a hanging wire installed.
As you can see to create this sculpted piece there are many processes involved making it a truly special and bespoke item.
Packaging:
The item will be packaged with bubble wrapping inside a cardboard outer box.
Delivery:
The item will be couriered to your chosen destination. Courier and Shipping times TBC
