I have linked diversity in the natural world to diversity in the art world by creating a project on New York based crane fly populations. Starting with 6 portraits of crane fly larva (magnified) in the style of various NY painters, I then named and described the species by the artist upon which they are based. I created a population distribution map of each “species” and I provide a short written description of each including physical characteristics (style), distribution (trends), and impact on environment.
