“The Moth Project” by Wendy DesChene and Jeff Schmuki will be on display at the University of North Georgia’s Gainesville campus.
As a special addition to the “Formicidae” entomological art exhibit, which is on display at the University of North Georgia’s Gainesville campus, the school will showcase the public art installation “The Moth Project” on Tuesday, March 25. The project was designed by artist-activists Jeff Schmuki, a ceramics professor at Georgia Southern University, and Wendy DesChene, an art professor at Auburn University. The installation is designed to attract moths, as well as viewers, to a series of portable nighttime garden machines to underscore the importance of pollinating insects and the decline of the honeybee, one of the most important pollinators.
