Art Installation "Catharsis" made its way to Burning Man 2019 and was invited to other festivals. It's a 11 feet tall, 16 feet wide butterfly painted in Petrykivka style. Located in a Seattle Community space it is looking for a new home.
4. Petrykivka painting (or simply “Petrykivka”) is a
traditional Ukrainian decorative painting style, originating from
the village of Petrykivka in Dnipropetrovsk oblast of Ukraine, where it
was traditionally used to decorate house walls and everyday household
items.
In 2012, the Ministry of Culture of Ukraine recognized Petrykivka painting
as a part of intangible cultural heritage of Ukraine, and it was included in
the UNESCO Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of
Humanity in 2013. Petrykivka painting has become a “brand” in Ukrainian
popular culture, and a “Petrykivka” trademark belonging to the artisans of
Petrykivka village has been created.
The main materials that we will be using for the structure will include
metal, wood, Styrofoam, acrylic paint, LED lights, black lights and
more. Below you can see the approximate list of items we will be
ordering and using. It doesn’t include rentals of tools, etc.
In 2019 a group of artists built an Art installation “Catharsis” in a form
of a tall 11 feet butterfly, painted in Petrykivka style. Later that summer,
the installation made it to Burning Man (Black Rock City, Nevada).
As thousands of people took pictures with it and hundreds of
thousands saw it in person and online, the installation travelled back to
Seattle, WA and is now looking for its new home.
Currently it can be viewed at Dill Community Space in Georgetown
neighborhood of Seattle.

Burning Man primarily features large scale interactive installation art inspired by the intersection of maker culture, technology and a connection to nature. Many works invite participation through climbing, touch, a technological interface or motion. Because of its principles of participation and radical inclusivity, much of outsider and visionary art, though a great variety of art forms appear during the event. Creative expression through the arts and interactive art are encouraged at Burning Man in many forms. Music, performance and guerrilla street theatre are art forms commonly presented within the camps and developed areas of the city. Artwork is placed in the open playa beyond the streets of the city and each year hundreds of isolated artworks, ranging from small to very large-scale art installations, often sculptures with kinetic, electronic and fire elements are brought to Black Rock City.
