In this episode, Andrew Herman speaks with Miami-based artist, Franky Cruz, who works with butterflies to create unexpected art pieces. Initially a graffiti artist, Franky shifted away from conventional painting in search of a non-toxic means by which to express himself creatively. This environmentally conscious move led him to learn how to repair butterfly wings, rear caterpillars successfully through metamorphosis, and how to work with these creatures to produce large-scale paintings; all in an effort to raise awareness and empathy for an organism weighing less that 1/5 of an ounce.-About Franky Cruz-Follow Franky @toolooselautrecWatch Franky's video on Vivarium Meconium hereFranky Cruz is represented by Spinello Projects
