Upstate Art Weekend 2025: The Lovebugs Installation

Upstate Art Weekend 2025

The Lovebugs installation at Arts Society of Kingston, in the Rondout, in Hudson Valley, NY.

The mixed media installation, created by artist Amelia C. Williams, featured a handmade structure with custom neon lighting, sustainably sourced sculptural elements, original paintings, and a scent designed to evoke memories of her adolescence. A short film played alongside the work, layering visuals to deepen the emotional impact and tie together the themes of identity and memory. Presented during Upstate Art Weekend 2025 in the Hudson Valley, New York, the piece invited viewers into a deeply personal, sensory-rich experience rooted in storytelling and cultural reflection.
