Taking Wing means “to make progress or have success, especially in a sudden or dramatic manner”. This installation seeks to encourage participants to “take wing” by identifying a significant memory worth celebrating in the past few years , documenting that moment on a slip of paper, and placing it inside the handcrafted moths. The moths will then be placed on the installation base with the assistance of the artist or designated helpers. When the event comes to a close, participants are invited to take home any moth other than their own and be inspired by the celebration message left by another. The impact of COVID and subsequent events have changed how we connect and celebrate those around us, it is my aspiration that this art experience will allow participants to create, collaborate, and share a beautiful memory with a stranger.
