Beautiful Moths (Fly), 2002, 50 inches x 72 inches x 72 inches Silkmoths, cocoons, fabric, foam, wood, wire, paper and plastic ties

Since 1997, Tera Galanti has bred silkmoths backwards in order to cultivate silkmoths that fly. This particular sculpture demarcates the best fliers, who mate as they fly to higher and higher levels, thus improving their offspring's ability to fly.
