ACTIAS LUNA
2009,10

An endeavor into the intricacies of nature; Actias Luna is a hand crafted robotic scale replica of each stage of metamorphosis as a Luna moth. Titanium, brass and resin make up each stage at roughly 1:3 scale of the actual creature. Cells divide in the egg, visualized by Ferrofluid in a glass shell, the caterpillar moves in a natural wave, the chrysalis articulates its tail restlessly and the finally the moth moves its wings.
