Predator or Prey

Rick — Tue, 21 May 2013 15:27:12 +0000

The newest mantis in a rush to meet the new world,
unsure if she is predator or prey.

The mantids started emerging yesterday. A busy spring,
500 egrets and thousands of mantis babies.

Sideshows and art environments, mobile and temporary,
a carnival for adults, evaporating before dawn.

Space music laser-light performance:
