The bitter golden snail (Helix nicrophagus photis goinfrex) is a peculiar scavenger species mainly fond of chicken, which can be seen gathered around specialized (so called) restaurants serving these preparations.

Invisible during opening hours (11am to 23pm) it later on, feasts until dawn, on the delicious leftovers, cleaning, joly, the bony parts.

L’ escargot mordoré

L’ escargot mordoré (Helix nicrophagus photis goinfrex) est une espèce particulière, charognarde, principalement friande de poulet et on peut la voir rassemblée autour de (soi-disant) restaurants spécialisés servant ces préparations.

Invisible pendant les heures d’ouverture (11h à 23h), après lesquelles il se régale jusqu’à l’aube, des restes savoureux, les nettoyant, joyeusement, jusqu’à l’os.

A sculpture to say Nature demands respect. When you feed cows with meat, you might end up with carnivorous gasteropods.

Une sculpture pour dire que la Nature impose le respect. Lorsque vous nourrissez les vaches avec de la viande, vous risquez de vous retrouver avec des gastéropodes carnivores.

    Your selection of artifacts is very appealing. 🙂

      Hey Friedrich, is this, somehow, sarcastic ? Nice to meet you anyway, and discover your own…

        Hey, no, not at all! The objects you present are extremely beautiful. I check from time to time and it is always a pleasure…..

          Thank you, Friedrich, actually I was trying to be humourous since your work shows at the same time strength and subtility, but obviously it didn’t show as it couldn’t in a few words. I am sorry it might have sound as rude.
          My excuse would be that you look like John Lithgow (Dick Solomon in “3rd rock from the sun”) so I presumed we could share some humour.
          Love your work though, hope we keep in touch.

            Many thanks! I’m always up for fun! The few words in online communication sometimes distort the meaning. All the best and best regards!
