HELLO, 13” BY 5.5”, WOODCUT
1-2.5% of the total biomass of insects is being lost yearly. The song of nature is losing its chorus, and while to some, the hum of mosquitoes will not be missed, the ripple effects of their loss will be felt substantially as time goes on.
GOODBYE, 7.5” BY 25”, WOODCUT
REACH, 17.5” BY 11”, WOODCUT
BEETLE WEAVE, 24” BY 34”, WOODCUT
MISSING, 9” BY 16”,
WOODCUT AND LETTERPRESS ON HANDMADE PAPER
When the Bugs Are All Gone, is a collection of remnants the bugs have left behind. It is a museum that can only display ancient artifacts like works of art because their true context is lost.
TREE OF LIFE, 9” BY 7”, COPPER PLATE
Woodblock beetle weaves printed like found fossils,
historical copper plates of trees and odes,
and entomologist sheets for attracting bugs and their
