The Feverish World symposium was organized by a group of faculty, graduate students, and artists at the University of Vermont — united by a sense of alarm about the dawning ecological crisis propelling our world into an increasingly “feverish” state of existence.

The symposium included a platform called “Tentworks,” which invited artists to create installations within skeletal “tent” structures made of simple 2x4s and scattered throughout the university’s campus — producing a “tent village” that foreshadowed the possibility of “climate refugees” arriving here in Vermont.

I designed a symbol for Feverish World (showing a network of red lines converging to form the outline of the earth), and for Tentworks (showing a network of lines converging in a similar way to form the shape of a tent).
