Light Drawing 2

Studying the Ghost moth within my art, I utilise their natural behaviours as part of my artistic process. This work was inspired by their natural attraction to moonlight to navigate their path. Using a light source to direct the moth enabled me to create works which not only left traces of their journey and movement, but left a reminder of their fragile time on this earth.
