I am very excited

to be taking part

in this art installation

by hilary lorenz

https://hilarylorenz.blog/

as part of an exhibition

entitled "cross pollination",

hilary is compiling

an installation

comprising of forty thousand

paper moths

she asked for people

all across the world

to make moths and send them to her.

I made sixty,

using linocut, free hand drawing

and also script

printed from a book about moths

to decorate them

I can't wait to see

photos of

the finished installation

later this year
