Infinite Butterfly
Installation by Luisa Caldwell

The artist fills the Plus/Space with a 14ft floor to ceiling candy wrapper and thread column, made of thousands of reclaimed wrappers, and multiplied endlessly with the use of mirror mylar. The artist collects candy wrappers lying on city sidewalks, and sent by friends from all over the world. She says she likes cleaning up the earth one wrapper at a time. The exhibition can be seen from the sidewalk 24/7 and visited inside during gallery hours.
