"Creative Infestation: How Insects Have Crawled, Flown, and Burrowed Their Way Into My (He)Art," A Talk by Artist Judith Klausner

  • Henry Sheldon Museum One Park Street Middlebury, VT 05753 United States (map)

Judith’s fascination with bugs started early, and has wound its way through her artistic practice like a trail of leafcutter ants - sometimes an unmistakable mass, sometimes a barely-perceptible trickle, but always finding its way and always bearing gifts.

Judith Klausner is a Somerville, MA artist with a love for small, intricate, and overlooked things. She received her degree in Studio Art from Wesleyan University in 2007 after constructing her thesis primarily out of insects, and has since continued to search the details of her surroundings for inspiration. Her experience of invisible disability and chronic pain play an integral role in how she views the world and creates art. Her work has been featured in Harper's magazine, Reader's Digest, the Huffington Post and NPR, and exhibited in venues internationally including the Susquehanna Art Museum, Museum of Natural History, RI, Museo di Arte Moderna e Contemporanea di Trento e Rovereto, and the Boston Children's Museum. Judith enjoys playing with her food, both recreationally and professionally.
