Lesley Kendall: MOTHS

17th April 2021 – 22nd May

Artist Machinery Street Gallery

Normally a paper artist, Lesley Kendall felt compelled to use clay to express the significant beauty and transitory nature of living creatures for her exhibition Moths With meticulous attention to detail,  Kendall has delicately hand-crafted over 300 life sized porcelain moths.  Each of these tiny, white-winged insects is unique and extraordinary in its detail. The moths were fastidiously created during lockdown, to depict the fragility and fleeting nature of life and to remind us of the impermanence of all things.

Artists:
 Lesley Kendall
