I continue to make moth wings for my latest Electrolier sculpture. Here is a Cedar Sphinx Moth with a circuit board body and embroidered velvet wings. Later, I will reveal the function of the circuitry and how the wires relate to the overall sculpture... but for now, pretty wings are what I have to offer.
I'm embroidering wings (top and bottom sides) for a cedar sphinx moth, as part of my latest Electrolier sculpture series. The embroidery machine that I'm using is an Ultramatic built in 1982 and restored by the team at NovaLabs. The base fabric (silk/rayon velvet) has been dyed free-hand to give the wings a lush, organic aesthetic.
