Dust Suns
2020 - ongoing
Dust Suns joins the emphemeral elements of butterfly dust and static electricity, enclosed within airplane windows.
A global demand for exotic moth and butterfly species makes for a transcontinental trade of cocoons and pupae. While in the very process of developing wings, millions of transforming and transiting caterpillars embark on their first flight, by airplane.
Dust Suns - a historic term borrowed from dust patterns which mark otherwise invisible electric charges - reveals the electric presence on a series of repurposed airplane windows caused by past interactions and frictions with their environment. Electrostatic souvenirs.
