Fly Paper

'Fly Paper', a new artwork, poem, and my thoughts are published at 100 Artworks.

As a child I was repelled by the cruelty of fly paper which attracts, then traps insects onto a sticky surface where they eventually succumb as they struggle to free themselves.

I use the metaphor of Fly paper as a way of thinking about human temptation.

This work was featured at 100 Artworks before a major update. The art will be available in the up and coming new release of Public Art World on 1st Jan 20226.
