This is a small scale sculpture from a series I’ve made featuring flying foxes/bats. The wings have fine wire through the fingers and arms allowing me to variously pose them, while the wing leather itself is tissue paper. In this sculpture the bats are modelled after the Australian species, the Grey Headed Flying Fox.

Very neat

I actually don’t like this article writer, she clearly doesn’t like bats very much, but raises awareness of a disease sweeping the bat community, WNS. I hope wildlife researchers can come up with a cure before it hurts our flighted friends too much!
