| “Moon Moths” – 41x56" Copyright Susan Brubaker Knapp 2023 |
I realized today that I had not posted about this piece, “Moon Moths,” which I made in 2023!
My fascination with moths and butterflies has spanned decades, and I have been making art about them since I started making art quilts around 2005. (The first was “Gossamer,” which I made in 2006. It featured a woman’s body on a Blue Morpho butterfly, soaring through a spiral of thread and hundreds of glass beads.)
“Moon Moths” features four spectacular moths: Luna (green moth at the top, Io moth on the right, Madagascan moon moth on the bottom, and Emperor moth on the left). They encircle the moon and the moon phases. It is a wholecloth painted piece.
It was purchased before I could exhibit it, and perhaps that is why I forgot to post about it!
