March 10, 201115 yr Insects (from Latin insectum "cut into sections") are a class within the phylum arthropods that have an exoskeleton with a three-part body (head, thorax, and abdomen), three pairs of jointed legs, compound eyes, and two antennae. Among the most diverse group in the Animal Kingdom, Insects include more than a million species representing more than half of all known living organisms. Insects can be found in nearly all environments, including the radioactive landscape the Nevada Nuclear Test Site. Although they dominate life on earth, humans tend to have a love hate relationship with them. While they can destroy crops, or carry deadly diseases, they are also ecologically beneficial and an integral part of the food chain. This piece is a collection of several short works, each representing a different family or order within the class Insecta. The entire collection is based on the Forte set-class 6-z17, the subset 5-22 and their variations (compliments and inversions). Some movements only use two variations of the core set-class, while others use several variations. The concept was to create unique pieces with the character of the specific insect while retaining a commonality they all share.
