5:34 pm
this is my very 1st by alter that i made. i have a few skaters that are shorted from this piece that i used. and both of them were found on children with my father when he took me to the nature reserve that he is working at. a lot of the things that have inspired me has been the symbology within the insects that i have found throughout my life time in my childhood that i held onto. and for a while, i kept them in these little boxes in my room, and i was not sure what to do with them until one day. it just dawned upon me to make a place of worship for them. and somewhere where i can honor them for naturalists. and silver and smoke arthur and i live right here in chestnut hill, the northwest part of philadelphia for this is my latest
5:35 pm
coming invasion of the periodicals, because i keep directory park to look for the campus. and i think i'm here a little bit early, but right now i'm looking for names which are underground. next spend their time feeding on tree roots. and then in the spring, they build a little time going up to the surface. often the tunnel hit, the bottom log, and you can find the cicada right there at the bottom. the log in this neighborhood like this one in rockville with great place to find the key to see the old trees and the lawn. well, mister area hasn't been served for a long time, at least not completely disturbed. look at this. well, there's a tunnel. 12345 tunnels under here, they're ready to emerge as soon as the conditions are right. and finishes include
5:36 pm
the $64.00 degree oil temperature. after a good rainstorm, when the boil is reached, the temperature will come out by the 1000000. this is my very 1st sketchbook that really started off. my interest was potatoes and there symbology. throughout my art this, the cato, we actually found in the greek mountains and that was the 1st cicada i ever saw. and it really sparked a lot of inspiration, multiple setting of the shell of the cicada symbolizes and many stages of transformation required of a person before all illusions had been broken and one reach of enlightenment. in japanese culture, the cicada is seen as a symbol of reincarnation. since they are constantly shedding their skin and leaving behind nothing but an empty show, there also symbolizes evanescence through their short list. and i
5:37 pm
there's a place on long island, it's called wildwood state park, and that's where me and my friends used to go all the time like growing up in high school. and i found a bunch of cicadas there once, and there was this tree that i found and someone must put a saw in the tree. and it was just stuck like me and my friend trust and we're trying to pull it out. we couldn't pull it out, and unfortunately he passed away a few months later. and i remember i went back to the tree and there was a cicada on the saw. and that's what i base one of my paintings on. i honestly felt like it was him coming to visit me. i really feel like it's all symbolic with each other because so many things in life are just like so ephemeral and they pass you by like the cicadas are and they live underground for lake 13 to 18 years and they
5:38 pm
come just for 3 weeks and they buzz around and the thing their songs and they dance and dance and then they kind of die. they can make you sad for me when i think about my friend or just thinks really happy because he had a really good life is short and it reminds me a lot a little kayden what they think their song like. i feel like he is like with them thinking it's really beautiful. and yeah, i actually, i made a short film in my sophomore year in college that highlighted on that. and i i made a piano so me, me . i
5:39 pm
5:40 pm
okay, it went to timble. have a nice to say, okay, and you know how they make it? they vibrate it, right? they pop it in and out. this is what it looks like. i found the dead one and they cut it open. oh, these, these things, your muscles and they, they move really fast popping that this little drop in and out. notice also that the key to this is a male. cicada is empty inside reason tempe is it because it's like a musical instrument, like a guitar. it has a space inside. it allows the sound to resonate, improves the sound and amplifies the sound so that the song carried farther. go once to the cicadas are up in the tree top. it's all going to be about romance. it's very much like humans. once they get eyeball to eyeball, the males dictated,
5:41 pm
has to use his very best performance to try to convince that special someone that they show to hook up and she should be the mother of this. and then he's going to use a variety of courtship songs and his performance has to be good because it's everybody know, it's always the females that get to choose. we think the one that sings the loudest, just like in the club, has the best performance. he may be the one that wins saying aloud singing long may win the heart of the female kid. that's what he's hoping for. i hope in maryland right now, getting ready to go into this cicada festival. and we traveled like 4 or 5 hours yesterday from long island, new york to come here and see all the cicadas. it's so magical, there's so many cases every flying around and hatching. and we saw them last night
5:42 pm
at the hotel just everywhere. yeah, i wasn't really, i wasn't sure how local really react to this because oath by oh, he just made the car locals are kind of like like different ends of the spectrum. like there's like a whole festival for them over here. and a lot of people are excited, but even last i met a couple of people who didn't really like the cicada. there is one lady who said that she absolutely hated them and she was scared of them. and they used to fly into her hair when she was a little kid. so she just didn't have great memories of them. and i talked to her about my art, and i told her that i came here to see them. and she was like, completely shocked. but she actually really liked my artwork and asked her my card and wanted me to design it, had to for her. so it's just really funny how all of that kind of come full circle . because one of the main things with my work is to kind of get people to see the
5:43 pm
bugs and like the cicadas specifically right now, like in a different way and to accept their beauty, even if they don't really like how many there are. and if they don't like creepy crawly, and stuff like that, it actually hurts a little bit when they get on your neck. how, who were not fil moreland. i came here to photograph the emergence of the cater. and to see the math is the kid is here, this is like the center of the brute can emergent. fortunately, my cousin lives here. so i've got a place to stay late in the area. i definitely feel the amaze for but i was definitely feeling the amaze. part with being overwhelmed by the creepiness. i was just feeling dread at everybody's post the thing like they're coming. they're coming or like showing
5:44 pm
picture that like one or 2 and just this is the beginning. it just sort of felt like very foreboding. and i didn't know what to expect. i think i'm trying to counteract that sense of dread by trying to find the sense of wonder and i want to be able to go outside every once a while i was afraid of the kid is very, a little bit that you are afraid of that much when the girls named the mayor and the president who are the same person right of the same cicada, they have named him dan. he really fell off. he does have, he has the injured wing, and so there tending to him by delivering burritos and cake, which are grass and little roots wrapped up in other roots
5:45 pm
in a nice package and says in still doing okay, they are really interesting and fun to catch. and harmless they don't actually hurt people ah, back guys or financial survival guide. housing bubble. oh, you mean the downside? artificially little mortgage room? don't get carried away. i was calling to report it as a cater to don't want to get it for my fiance. oh that is so you can have that. you seem really cool. what's your name at? awesome. you're so cool. i feel like you got an artistic sold to you like the bug,
5:46 pm
my initial idea to do this project. and my project was supposed to take one afternoon. i was trying to make these insects more attractive for my kids. so all this is julia. can you say hi. and what do you think about impacts sameness, gary, when i make them do things that human do and make them do you think that human view, the timeline was very, very fast. the one i photographed them cicadas and over the weekend i posted a very short post on our local next door, which is our little social network for all the people that live in the area. and everyone love the idea and told me that they wanted to share my photos with their friends and families. so i put an extra tab on my website and that when pretty viral in the next 24 hours. and the next thing i know, washington post,
5:47 pm
what is to future me and i've been contacted by pretty much every news like local and national news. and ours, the kiddos have to go into outer space because the planet has gotten a little too small for them. so obviously some of the cicadas and not have very high tolerance for alcohol because they are already passing out since our keaton, i don't know if they're going to be around in july 4th. it's still a month away or so i decided to throw them in independence day party to make sure that they have lots of fun before they're short laser over. oh no, there is a fight, look about. oh dear. so this was one of my earlier said, it's kind of simple, but it's just lots of fun. just rings true with
5:48 pm
a lot of people who after a year and a half of being in lockdown, looking forward to just celebrating with their friends and families and grill from the idea behind. this is twofold. one is my personal interest in creating a community that normalize the data eating because i wanted to. but i thought it was growth. so i was like, i needed some moral support to do that myself and grill. oh, grilly. oh, i'm in like a mild, sort of like, i wouldn't say sure. i would say like, he's like a me a worm. if you never, even one of those is not going to help you out much. you how do you because you
5:49 pm
were air for 600 or 6 minutes or 400 degrees. the old they really reminded me at the sea food, so it does have the 1st time i got that divide that people told me i would get. whereas most the other ones, it was more like a peanut giving you the full lifespan of the cicada than them to the toner. all goes to the full, mature adult. yeah, look at that beautiful morsel morsels. yeah. the marshal cycle. try one of the, it's very mild. it's just kind of like took me, did you, did you, you think it is the kid i wrote, why not? i was a good life to
5:50 pm
the fact that you're i mean that's not very satisfying. cicadas or just so plentiful, and i know from past broods that a lot of them are going to get eaten and even if they don't, they're going to die really soon after that. and so the ethical concern is somewhat less about like causing individual suffering. so again, like i needed a whole festival, but it worked, it worked for me and it worked for a lot of i guess it's like more normal now, i'm not ready to pick up a great big, juicy grub from the compost or from our mulch pile and pop it in my mouth, but i might roast it. i might air fry it in there for victor fear given to the committee
5:51 pm
for the cave as before, i could be a little kinder to him and also to keep him turning dark and white color. he have a for 17 years ago. i still was year cicadas are back and oh my goodness. today the war was so loud. it was in the side that i heard it. i thought there was war traffic, but no, it was a damage. i mean, bad, bad, like i don't mind it. where does that random?
5:52 pm
i know like when you're down the street. i you me if i you and there's one. yeah, they're covering the sidewalk. carcases. and you're just like, wow, i'm even. yeah. so like you're walking around, you have to be like, like this, or you don't step on any kind of go get or you know, the key. so this is, this is a decimal meter. when it ok when you're quiet. yeah. then you basically make your go to 7080. yeah. but yesterday it was really loud to wind up like it was more loud. so i went up to 80 on the thing and says when i 80 that it's the sound. it sounds like, like a good blender. yeah. one is always like basically like having a food wonder outside or old times. you think it's a mirror and
5:53 pm
a female it might be more than a human. they mean it's like a, like say hello, are they going to, if you think i just pass each other mode? yeah. was up in the trees. maybe i get home. this play was a male to singing. it's this a k to police. and it's all about romance. the guy, those teenage cicada is, are rocking out. they've been underground social distance thing. living a cold with like existence for 17 years in a, they're teenagers. they're going to sing. they're going to have romance much the same way. we're taking off our math, we're getting together with friends, to socialize, listening to music and romance, to see in the last in hair when they are coming out of their show. they have so many things that can go wrong
5:54 pm
. and so they'll like damage their little soft body lightly. yeah. and then they begin to lose chemo. so i noticed in watching them, and it turned from clear to, oh, black then to gray, to black as it was oxidising with eric closure. so it's just like this really magical thing that was happening while we would collect them and they would be, you know, they would have dropped from the tree and be slightly bruised or something. and then this liquid got lacquer in black or so i thought and it turned out it makes very colors that i've done some solar tests and it does not disappear or fade in the sun either. so it's like really color fast, like my husband into deer hunter and we use every part of the yeah. and it's the same even with,
5:55 pm
with fluids and flip by harvest herbs. first do once i strip the leaves, i'm like, well, deserves. i don't want to waste them either. so they go in like the news of the here for thing. you know, we've been married for 25. if you're going to think that was a different thing, all of those were liquid inside. oh, i know her look as a role to me, kind of like
5:56 pm
a big bonus. they come out every 17 years. quite a number of animals probably get a big population whose during that time period caught a keener just after in min metamorphose and still white and pale with nice and soft. it's going to bring it back to the nest box and, and feed the young with it. this is the male eastern blueberry. what happens to all the bodies? yeah, they decompose the bacteria, break them apart and eat them. and they become part of the soil. and they, they feed the trees that fed them right. and when they feed the trees, the trees are healthy and they see this then is the status. it's like the food is going into the cicada cycle right. this way. this is wildwood state park in waiting reverse new york. this is
5:57 pm
a really important place to me. this is actually where a lot of my art was inspired from. i came here with my for interest and there used to be actually a tree right in front of me that we moralize and put one of his urinary cards on. and it just so happened to have fallen down. a lot of this place has been rooted. i think that coming back here now and seeing that the trees are gone really as to the summer ality of the art that i made and like so many things that are no longer here . i can make them live on through my artistic vision. this is a tattoo that i designed with my tattoo artist in 2015 after my friend tristan passed away and i drew up this cicada inspired dagger knife because he really reminded me of a cicada. and every time i looked down at my arm, i can know that i shouldn't give up. and i got to dance the dance just like the cicadas. do i think that's
