Spider Trap

Burning Man 2023
Black Rock City, NV

in collaboration with Josh Zubkoff and Looking Up Arts

With its long spindly steel legs, Spider Trap stands towering, but not menacing. Spider Trap is constructed primarily of nine steel tube sections that are bolted together. The front six legs support the two parallel webs.

The top web contains over 6,000 LEDs that swirl in hypnotizing patterns. The surrealist scale of this piece invites participants to surrender to being “trapped” in the web, relaxing and spending a long moment to explore the art and just get lost in the moment.
