For some, the fear of flying insects is all too real and the thought of them results in a serious case of the heebie jeebies. For Connie Z, artist and Spoonflower Operations team member, they serve as a spark of artistic inspiration. Showcasing her talent at The Carrack Modern Art exhibition space from November 13th – November 21st, La Chicharra consists of large-scale charcoal drawings and installations that capture the essence of the cicada (chicharra), a figure that has been a central icon from her childhood.
With the intrigue of learning more about Connie's unique inspiration, Spoonflower team member Meredith bugged Connie about her upcoming show, the roots of her cicada interest, and how Spoonflower became a part of the exhibit.
