As of October of last year, I have been collaborating with a group of scientists from Arizona State University and local artists to create a ceramic bug exhibit.
The occasion is the first annual Arizona Science and Technology Festival, whose primary purpose is to showcase local innovations in STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math).
Our team of entomologists and artists is creating an exhibit which will open on January 20, 2012. It will be on display at the Eye Lounge in downtown Phoenix through the month of February. On February 3 (First Friday), we're expecting a large audience for the monthly free art walk through the galleries in the area.
Please come by and take a look! Our goal for our show is to show what insect / bug research is being done at Arizona State University. Expect to learn a lot about all of the crazy behaviors insects have for the purpose of reproduction.
Also, we're planning to sell select bugs. If you or someone you know loves bugs, these would make a unique gift! They have holes for wall-mounting, or are perfectly awesome free-standing, too.
Here are the bugs in progress!!
Bugs. Paperclay, low fire underglaze. From 8" to 14".
