As I played with various areas around my house I found other unbeknownst oddities in the depths of livid in spaces – an apple core, or the tendrils of one of my favourite but fraying jumpers. A while ago before these photos were taken, I had to change a lightbulb in my bathroom – the light source being one of those little spotlights that are embedded into the ceiling, to my horror upon unscrewing the light – the many mummified carcasses of bees fell from above the crevice and glided their way down to the floorboards.. I definitely should have hoovered more throughly. You can see one of the little fellas in these photos, having him rest on a clump of hair and dust feels like something you might see on natural history about cordyceps where the spores of fungus have attached to the brain of an inebriated insect and ultimately burst through the shells of the little critters.




Insects are always tucked away in light fixtures. The sheer number is astounding. (K)

There is something rather ‘David Cronenberg’ about these shots, Mr Daly – it’s that sordid red light and sense we’re being shown what we shouldn’t be looking at…

Cheers Phil! It was bizarre finding that crippled wasp and it only seemed right for things to take a more sinister turn – especially with the red light. X
