The forms and morphology of the insects in this collection have evolved over decades and centuries, with no intention of showcasing an artificial or forgotten beauty. Cypress trees and flowers have now been replaced by these intriguing insects on some quilts. In a nightmarish scenario, one might perceive them as modern man's companions rather than yesterday’s pestering creatures. In this traditional handmade quilt collection, I have attempted to show, from a modern man's perspective, how the past and the revival of memories can become part of his routine practice. 2011
