Gracing the Space Part: 2

Gracing one corner of my space is my moth collages. When I was back in the states I found these really detailed drawings of moths in a book. I picked out a few, traced them, and brought them to England with me. For some reason I kept picturing the three moths as very different but equally interesting ladies. So, with that in mind, I made three collages each inspired by, and named after, one of my lady-moths.



the first was Luna. I kept picturing her as a flower child. One that liked to dance through fields of sweet grass when the moon was full, her long hair flowing out behind her.



The second was Crecropia. The name just sounded exotic to me. It evoked thoughts of spicy food and salsa dancing. Thoughts of a girl who wasn't afraid to shake her hips and wear feathers in her hair.



The last was Io, my favorite. For some reason with her I kept thinking of sunlight trapped in pools of cool, blue water and the soft, white bodies of doves. She's the kind of girl who is so graceful she could be a ballerina and so elegant she looks like she just stepped out of a black-and-white. You'd envy her but to know her is to love her.
