Moon Crab
The word “carcinisation” describes the tendency of the natural world towards crabs. Animals outside of the crab family evolve into crab shapes so often that there has to be a special word to describe this phenomenon. This sculpture is another addition to my particular crab family.
“Moon Crab” was the second crab I ever made, and it is basically a miniature version of the first, “Tropical Crab”. Shrunk down to just 3” at the widest point, the “Moon Crab” fits in the palm of the hand.
“Moon Crab”, 2021. 2” x 3” x 2.5”. Seed beads, monofilament.
