This vibrant moth was brought back to life after being closed up in a mothball-laden drawer for years, and depicts how the true colors and beauty of form are exposed when given light and space.  A macro photograph was printed onto fabric, details drawn in with colored pencil, layered repeatedly with encaustic medium, carved with detail, cut to shape, sculpted, colored again with powdered pigment, and wired onto a heavily layered birch panel, carved with organic form and painted with oils.  It serves as a reminder that we all have a place in this world, and the power to be moved by the presence of others.
