Maybe it’s the environment, but around here I’m always obsessing about the littlest things. The other day I devoted eight hours to looking at and learning more about some insects and pests. Needless to say the presence of these things at a museum can lead to big problems for art.
I visited the locally-owned, but world-renown, Insects Limited headquarters to take part in a one-day workshop on museum pest management. Sure I learned about pests in graduate school, but it’s been a while since I studied a bug under a microscope. And to top it off, I had my picture taken by Crista Pack of recent NYT fame.
