Fairy Shrimpy Camp - Burning Man 2024

"Fairy Shrimpy Camp" exists as an effort to expand the habitat of the playa fairy shrimp that have "lived" during the two installations of the artwork, "Of a Temporary nature."

We (Priscilla and I) anticipate being a small camp of up to 6 people.

We are going to create baby fairy shrimp out of the larger sculptures and give them to folks (to decorate with ink) and put on their bikes, hats, ears - wherever they can "swim" in the air.

Although I camped with the Lamplighters in previous years, we camped as "Shrimpy Camp" in 2023, an art support camp for "Of a Temporary Nature, 2.0". We decided to create a small theme camp to return to the playa once again to allow the fairy shrimp to "release their offspring".

This is what Shrimpy Camp looked like in 2023, and we anticipate Fairy Shrimpy Camp to look similar, but fancier!
