Emergence Mapping

This work was inspired by the emergence of the Rain moth out of their tunnels in the ground, the linings of the works and the random flight paths of the moths when they emerge. Actual moth markings are a part of the drawing, which then inspired the mark making done by the artist to find the patterns within and to tell a story.
