 mixed
media installation / live silkworms, mulberry branch
The
Opening is an arrangement of mulberry branches in a vase
treated with live silkworms. The silkworms are placed on
the branches to eat the leaves. At the start of The Opening
the leaves were full, after the silkworms had eaten, there
were only the branches left. This piece intends to reflect
the artist's conception of Contemporary Art in today's world.
Also, the Artist was experimenting with Asian inspired Installation
and the cultural connotations that silk carry from the "orient"
into the West.
