Polyphemus,
that
great cyclops, turns his eye to a book. The
insight of this anonymous author impales the mighty eye, which splits
into four! Upon finishing the book, Polyphemus takes on disciples,
but the message he shares of love and resistance makes them hunted by
the government. All the moths go into hiding with their wisdom and
message of compassion and equality. While the book is shared, it must
remain hidden, its message shared only in twilight language.
Original colored pencil moth drawings and collage of marbled paper from old books on birch panel with the sides painted black. Measures 12x12 inches and .75 inches deep. Varnished to provide archival UV protection.
