Chris Denaro is an animator from Brisbane. As part of his Doctorate in Visual Arts he used physical objects from the forest floor at Teerk Roo Ra National Park in Moreton Bay, Queensland and combined them with metal armatures. His objective was to study the psychological response to nocturnal life within the forest.

Chris requested to use one of my recordings of beetles as they swarmed our local valley last summer. The originality of the creature and its movements is fascinating, and once again I am more than happy to see a recording ending up in a very unexpected place.
