The story
Shown here, the invasive species is riding a giant grasshopper that evolved as a result of its meddling with its local environment.
Every element was found — scrap yards, second-hand stores, dumpsters — then cleaned, stripped, sorted and rebuilt. Found aluminum is TIG-welded and sanded seamless; nothing is cast. The electronics are salvaged from consumer devices, repaired and rewired so the piece does something when you touch it.

Materials
Everything in this piece had a previous life. Nemo’s own inventory, in his words.
Cigar box, picture frame, magazine and book clippings, LEDs, motor.
