Textile Curiosities
Step into a world where art and nature converge in a display of faux-taxidermy moth and butterfly sculptures. Aleah Ford, known as “Moth On The Wall,” invites you to experience the enchanting realm of these ephemeral creatures through her meticulously crafted works. In this exhibition, Aleah’s sculptures come to life using textiles, wire, faux fur, clay, and flocking. The sculptures are presented within shadow boxes, reminiscent of Victorian curiosity cabinets, inviting viewers to step back in time to an era of exploration and discovery. Each box offers a glimpse into the fascinating world of the Lepidoptera.
