Serpentine Insect Hostel
Artist Statement:
The curved shape is graceful, pliable, and helps the piece to merge into the landscape. This piece allows sunlight to dapple through the piece while the stainless steel tubes allow pollinators and small birds to roost on a functional piece of public art. The shape and movement of the piece speaks to resilience and innovation.
