So What is "The Butterflies of Memory"?

Butterflies of Memory is a temporary public sculpture on the site of the collapsed Smallpox Hospital Ruins on Roosevelt Island in Manhattan. Seventeen giant yellow butterflies, each ten feet in diameter, will fly between 18 and 36 feet above the Ruins, visually carrying off the building. Installed in the summer of 2012, "Butterflies of Memory" will be viewable from Roosevelt Island, the Midtown Waterfront and the FDR highway, thus bringing an image of inspiration and beauty to over two million New Yorkers.

Leaving for Cambodia!

Leaving for Cambodia...which means two and a half weeks away from this giant project. I will miss it. I will be accompanying Yula Kapetanakos on her research in there. I will be assisting a little in my non-scientific way, collaborating on some artistic expression of her research and possibly doing a little educational outreach in a Cambodian School with Yula.

Basically, I'll be running through the jungles with one of the coolest women on the planet and drawing vultures. Total adventure, insanely excited. Then two days in Shanghai looking at galleries.
