“Scorpion Fossil Tile” Leirus quinquestriatus

Michael Mangiafico
Pittsburgh, PA United States

Flame worked and weathered glass scorpion fused to a cast glass rock to emulate a fossil. Inspired by the Burgess Shale fossils representing the seat of life as well as material mimicry I’m displaying this tile framed and backed with hand made paper.

Dimensions: 13 x 11 x 1 inches
