Hubert Duprat
The common caddisfly is a moth-like insect, found near lakes, streams, ponds and rivers, and often used as a bait for trout fishermen. Caddisfly larvae spin protective silk cases which incorporate bits of material from their surroundings, such as gravel, twigs or small pieces of shell. In this remarkable work, simply entitled Caddis, French artist Hubert Duprat has collaborated with caddis larvae by gently placing them in an environment full of gold, pearls and semi-precious stones. The caddis spun these materials into their casings to produce these beautiful one of a kind jewel-encrusted covers!
