Flies, Actually

 

A Treatise on saving our insects and a Flyaspora of Celebrity Art Blowflies

Over 40% of our insect species are threatened – but what if we saw them differently?

In this witty and thought-provoking book, research scientist and artist Dr Sally Berridge transforms the humble blowfly and other overlooked insects into high-value art, challenging our perceptions with humour and creativity. Blending a short history of the use of insecticides and practical ideas for conservation, this book is both and artistic celebration and a call to action. Our future as humans depends on these tiny creatures – it’s time we started valuing them.

About the Author

 

Dr Sally Berridge had a Kipling-esque beginning. Born in the foothills of the Hindu Kush (then India, now Pakistan), she is a daughter of the Raj. During the war, her mother died in Calcutta from typhoid, so she was sent ‘home’ to boarding school in England to be adrift in a strange land.

Then after some years, with her father, an inarticulate (though verbose) ex-Indian Army colonel, and a duty-bound step-mother, she went to live on a farm in colonial Kenya.

She returned to England for university studies and migrated to Australia in 1966. Since then, she has been a research scientist, an artist and a science communicator. She gained her PhD in creative communication at the University of Canberra in 2006.
