This lifelong interest in biology — especially insects — is embodied in his solo show, “Bug Sur,” now on display through March 1 at the Marin Museum of Contemporary Art in Novato.

Some of his works include an Atlas beetle from Thailand combined with a ceremonial elephant image, and a long-armed beetle with electron tubes of musical amplifiers.
