Moth Murals with

PlantBot Genetics

Using photos we have collected from across the nation, we workshop with local communities to create wheat paste moth murals. At first glance, these bright colored murals seem festive and remind the viewer of contemplative mandalas. On closer examination, the patterns in the design become clear. Each mandala is created from multiple large photographs of moths. 

These bright, playful large installations invite everyone to learn about the importance and beauty of insects in unexpected places. The amazing details, colors, and patterns that function as survival tactics in the wild, draw people in to learn more on the mural wall.

Using large printed photos collected from national mothing  workshops with local communities,  participants help create these wheat paste murals.  These collaborative events not only create a beautiful wall installation but draws connections between personal action and ecological issues of vital importance to both humans and pollinators alike.
