Lately I’ve been
researching the ethereal
Luna Moth (Actias luna) as a potential candidate for
transformation into a Homo-insecta. Currently the Luna Moth lives solely to
lay eggs and will survive a mere seven days. Once her evolution to Homo-insecta
is completed, however, she will be expected to live richly and fully for several decades

This is not the first time the Luna Moth has appeared in my work. Previously it featured in the painting
Actias luna Moth Mask, 2007, which was part of the
Moth Masks series of
paintings, drawings and
prints (2007-09).
