“Large moth soft sculpture made from new and vintage velvets, cottons and upholstery fabrics. A plump body is pulled tight with stitching and ribbed to mimic a chubby moths shape.

A gentle tea wash lightly ages each piece and pulls all the colours together with inks, acrylic paints and watercolours.”
