Don’t Let Them Clip Your Tiny Little Insect Wings
2018-ongoing, social practice workshop and installation
This large community art project began in 2018. I invite folks to work with me and to create a bug in any way they like. I ask people to reflect on a time when they felt like a bug being squashed and what something was that gave them the wings to keep going. Bugs created during the workshops may be donated back to the archive to build the swarm or taken home as a point of pride for the creator.
The project has been supported by Erie Art and Culture, Jana Marie Foundation, Waterloo Arts, DayGlo Color Corp, Illinois State University, Kutztown University of Pennsylvania, and Slippery Rock University.
