McCanns Mosaic

This piece reflects themes of change, metamorphosis, and evolution.

Just as Beetles undergo distinct developmental stages—from egg to larva, pupa, and finally to adult— evolution drives genetic change across successive generations, resulting in the emergence of new adaptations and ultimately new species.

Within this collection, the subtle progression of colour along the gradient mirrors the adaptations occurring across descending generations. With each new iteration, subtle variations emerge, gradually distancing them from their ancestral origins. This gradual metamorphosis illustrates the ongoing evolutionary journey, where each subtle change contributes to the broader tapestry of biodiversity.

Meticulously crafted with expert precision, this mosaic has been designed and assembled by our expert team and elegantly mounted in a museum quality deep box frame.

Mount: 300 GSM acid free card stock with a 2 mm bevelled edge matboard border

All of the insects in our collection are responsibly and ethically sourced through sustainable insect farming and commercial breeding.

This approach helps native communities generate a sustainable and equitable income, while providing an economic incentive to protect endangered habitats rather than environmentally destructive practices such as deforestation for logging and agriculture.

We are working hard to be a carbon neutral brand, by investing in planting trees to offset our carbon emissions and continuing to operate responsibly. We also package all of our products using 100% recyclable or reusable materials to reduce our environmental impact.

Both ourselves and our suppliers use recycled material through as much of the design & production process as possible. All of our card mounts and solid oak stands are FSC certified, meaning that the trees used are harvested responsibly and replaced to ensure no net loss of forest.
