Art in Odd Places

Since I'm going to be dreaming, breathing and making paper clay moths for the next 2 months, I'm including this part of the bombyx mori project here. This is the web link for the festival:

Meanwhile, here's a description of my project:

Multiple replicas of domesticated silk moths are placed on walls and signposts to create a sense of foreboding. The bombyx mori is used as an omen because the species now exists solely for human consumption and can no longer effectively fly or survive in the wild. The project wonders aloud whether humankind’s interactions and endeavors with Mother Nature will ultimately be auspicious or unfavorable.

Presented by Art in Odd Places 2009: SIGN, an annual festival exploring the odd, ordinary and ingenious in the spectacle of daily life.

Still snoopy dancing about being a part of the project, visiting NYC (and with any luck, going to Louise Bourgeois' Sunday salon) and I think it's going to be great fun!

Here's a recap pic of the moths:
