Luna Moth Skirt – Ellen Durkan
Ellen Durkan: “The Luna Moth concept was designed around death and re-birth. This is a concept that continues throughout my body of wearable art as well as my drawings. I was interested in the moth’s shapes and its graceful lines and wanted to translate that into steel. I loved that the symbolism of the moth is associated with life cycles ending and beginning again. For me, it was a letting go and growing into a stronger, more aware version of myself. I have a few other pieces that incorporate symbolic elements like lilies for similar reasons. The lily pieces are hollow, and sand can bleed through them like an hourglass, except, unlike an hourglass, you don’t get your time back.”
