I am very excited
to be taking part
in this art installation
by hilary lorenz


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
