Sometimes an idea has to incubate quietly: I'd attempted to do something related to the horror and gamour of moths before, but hadn't felt quite satisfied with the results, which were too cartoonish, overstated in their expressionism. Now the time is ripe capture the glory of moth in the language of Polish peasant cutouts and Art Noveau perversity.
