Arctiid Moth Genus species Lepidoptera Arctiidae Australian fabric sculptor, Annmieke Mein produces tactile works of art inspired by numerous, not so popular insects, including moths. Being one of her favorite subjects, she studies a particular moth for its specific charms. She then translates them into insect sculptures made from a variety of fabrics including silk by deliberately accentuating the minute details and dramatically enlarging the subject. A special creation entitled, "Old Lady Moth" comes with an invitation to the audience to touch the moth and effectively dissolve any fears people carry with them about these misunderstood insects.
