Take inspiration from Amelia Butcher’s ceramic exhibition Sister Worm and create your own imaginary earthworm burrow using paper cut-outs and a variety of materials. Families are invited to collaborate and think creatively about the kind of home they might build they too lived in a subterranean world.
Amelia Butcher’s captivating solo exhibition uses curiosity, empathy, and labor to explore both the real and imagined lives of worms and other inhabitants of the soil. Immersing the viewer in a subterranean environment informed by rigorous research, literature, and humor, Sister Worm asks viewers to consider a more lateral relationship to natural systems, both seen and unseen. Butcher writes: “I don’t mean to see worms and soil as metaphors for human experiences; I really am interested in the worms themselves. Their experiences are not vessels for mine; our lives can rhyme with each other.”
