The Artist behind Form and Pheromone:
Christopher Marley A 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 interactions with arthropods. Perfectly symmetrical so that the insects themselves, and the designs they comprise evoke feelings of structure, mechanics and Form rather than slithering and clicking. An industrial designer’s fantasy rather than an entomological quagmire.

Pheromones are chemical stimulants that insects release to attract one another -- and they’ve been known to seduce the occasional human, too.
