Artist creating 100 ceramic beetles to highlight insects as objects of beauty

The video discusses the fascinating world of insects and how an art project aims to change perceptions by focusing on their textures rather than their legs, which often disturb people. The artist combines natural and man-made textures to create unique art pieces. The video also highlights an upcoming open studios event in North Yorkshire, which is significant after two years of cancellations due to the pandemic. The challenges faced by artists during this period, including canceled workshops and exhibitions, are also discussed.
