The Spinner

Framed limited edition archival print, 1/10. The native Puriri moth often makes its way to our home on the edge of the Duder Reserve. These dazzling green and hungry moths gnaw their way into Puriri tree trunks and suck out the sap, leaving the trees to perish. I photographed this moth in its last stages of life, utilizing the double exposure method that allows me to layer one image on top of another in camera to bring movement to the subject.
