This participatory installation invited visitors to stroll through unfurled rolls of paper filled with black ink drawings of anything visitors requested Bowlby to draw. A large, tri-fold brochure with essays by Carolyn Eyler, Director of Exhibitions and Programs at USM Art Galleries, and Robert Cozzolino, Senior Curator and Curator of Modern Art at The Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts.

Engaging Insects
Artists and Scientists

From clockwork figures and embalming to genetic analysis, from scientific illustration to video manipulation, common insects are not only visually fascinating, they also raise provocative questions about our relation to the world around us. Curated by Kim Grant and Carolyn Eyler. Exhibition held September 22 through November 10, 2011.
