Ludicrum: naturalia, artificialia, scientifica v. 6 (Fly) is an animation, separated into its 560 images. Each image is mounted to the wall in a brass holding device. Installed in a darkened gallery, viewers are invited to explore the animation using a flashlight and magnifying glass. The animation traces the journey of a wasp, from larva stage to maturity, encountering man, nature, and artifice along the way.

Shown here at Lawrence University, Hoffmaster Gallery April 2 - May 16 2004
