Tiny Lives, Borrowed Light

Through a collection of paintings, photographs and short videos, artist and environmental scientist Chelsea Hopkins-Allan invites you on a journey of encounters with local Albany moths.

From under the microscope in the WA Museum research collection to local fieldwork by UV blacklight, experience these relatively unknown and enchanting little creatures from a new perspective.

Find out how to contribute your own moth sightings or participate in important citizen-science research on a critically endangered moth.

This project is made possible through the Regional Creative Industries Fund with support from the WA Government and delivered by ART ON THE MOVE in partnership with the WA Museum, the Museum of the Great Southern and North Metropolitan TAFE.
