The Plague

I created this piece for my repetition project where I was to explore how repetition can transform an object. More specifically how the context of an object is altered when it is repeated. This piece talks about the mind and racing thoughts and how they can be both arresting and panic inducing, but also the element of fragility because a thought can be squashed in a moment.

Materials: 3500 ft of fishing line, 1,126 origami paper cicadas, 3' x 3' piece of hardware cloth
