Death of a moth & Escape of a moth

Materials: 100% reeled silk 
Dimensions: 150cm x 400 cm 

Looking at sericulture and the brutal path a moth goes through, the concept is demonstrates how many cocoons are actually needed to create a textile. In this fabric the weft yarn is composed of 50 cocoons. Each square in the fabric finally represents the 50 moths that were boiled alive. 

 

Materials: 100% hand spun silk from silk floss 
Dimensions: 60cm x 120 cm 

There is no use for a defective cocoon in the production of high quality silk reeling. In this textile a hatched cocoon is still worth its silk – perhaps even more, because the moth could reproduce and lay eggs, which represent the full circle of life. The beads in the fabric are markers to display the individual length of each cocoon. All beads represent the amount of eggs one moth is able to lay.
