The Distance Between

The Distance Between is a collection of works installed as a temple of cicadas with the culmination of pieces enshrining the cycle of their annual emergence and disappearance. This exhibition utilizes the design elements of a Gothic cathedral to create a theoretical religion based on the cicada’s lifecycle. Cicadas are cast in an array of forms in glass and bronze utilizing the intrinsic qualities of the materials in conjunction with their historical use. This work is a romanticized solution of presenting the environment as a place of worship to create individual dialogues around the care for ecology.
