Warning link contains creepy crawly images portrayed through art.

Christopher Marley arranges the bodies of insects - displaying brilliant colours and coming in many different shapes and sizes - into perfectly symmetrical designs.

Despite his "stifling" phobia, Marley became fascinated with anthropods after travelling to places like Southeast Asia and Africa, eventually deciding to convert his cowardice into creativity. Marley argues that collecting adult insects doesn’t harm the population, but could help promote regulated beetle farming of endangered species.

In describing his artwork, Marley said "As my fascination with insects was inspired by a desperation to avoid them, the presentation is antiseptic. Minimalist to escape the claustrophobia that almost universally accompanies one's interaction with anthropods. Perfectly symmetrical so that the insects themselves, and the designs they comprise evoke feelings of structure, mechanics and form rather than slithering and clicking."

Marley also works with fossils, minerals, bones and sea life.
