Book Worm’s Bug Book Fair

THESIS 2024-2025

Artist Statement:

Book Worm’s Bug Book Fair is a whimsical book fair for anthropomorphic bugs. The collection of works includes three published art books written from the perspective of various bugs for other bugs to read. The fair includes imagined events with supporting printed ephemera made for both bugs and humans to enjoy. The bugs themselves are inspired by various species in the Pacific Northwest.

With insect education in mind, Book Worm’s Bug Book Fair seeks to show the intricate relationships between bugs with themselves and each other outside of their important relationships to humans. By anthropomorphizing their experiences through publication and ephemera, Book Worm’s Bug Book Fair draws human curiosity into the secret lives of bugs.
