WildWorx: The Feral Art Archive

Ephemeral works roaming wild open spaces, with Mrs. Raines

Wild grapes teach young to stalk their favorite snack, Demon Ostrich in Autumn Plumage…a delicacy world-wide
WildWorx · 2025
On a mysterious Connecticut trail, the vines whisper of picnics long past, where baskets were opened and blankets spread – and the grapes dine on large land fowl. They whisper legend in the wind, oral histories of feast and vanquished beast, murmured cluster to cluster, until every grape knows the taste of shadow and appetite…and every bite feels like it has been told a hundred times. Some say if you linger too long, the story will climb into your mouth, and you will taste it too.

Congregation: Overlady
A Temporary Arrangement
Wild·Inside · 2026
A tire rests where no road leads, smooth and black as midnight code. Ladybirds gather, red shells glinting, whispering in patterns only they understand. A choreography of instinct and curiosity, they plot quietly against plastic and print. Small acts of devotion animate every step. If you watch closely, you might see them wink – and realize you’ve become part of the congregation too.
