The flags from By a Thread: Great Salt Lake will be for sale for a limited amount of time with the proceeds going to FRIENDS of the Great Salt Lake. Each of the flags have been exhibited 7 times around Salt Lake City where the public has been invited to interact with them. They hold the “wear and tear” as was intended. They are all slightly frayed.
Only one of each species is available. If it is not listed in the drop down species selection, then it has been purchased. Please review the map below to view the species and their depictions to select a specific flag.
Project Information:
By a Thread celebrates the species of the Great Salt Lake's vibrant ecosystem. After consulting with scientists from the Great Salt Lake Institute and the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources, Bornhoft constructed a list of species to include that are endemic to or dependent on the lake. Bornhoft illustrated each of the species and printed them on unhemmed and transparent fabric. Their ghostly presence shows their interconnected dependence. The shadow of the one before allows the next to be seen. The unhemmed fabric leaves them vulnerable to unraveling. The illustrations are freely available as an open resource to help assist educators, researchers, and activists.
Viewers are invited to gently sift through and touch the banners. An attached guide can assist in identifying species throughout the installation. The photographs referenced for the illustrations are sourced from the Creative Commons, often taken by local citizen scientists.
