Su Rynard
Bug Girl
October 8–November 6, 2004

Two-person exhibition with Susan Bozic.

Su Rynard’s video installation Bug Girl examines the human self-image as separate from nature. Projected onto a specially-constructed circular screen that evokes both a microscope and a crystal ball, Bug Girl is an ecological fable that appears as part science movie and part fairy tale. A young girl accidentally swallows a bee and begins a journey that is both a rite of passage and a visual allegory for contemporary environmental uncertainties, hinting at the connectedness of all living things.
