I did this to give my project a focus point as a central point to work from. This has also evolved from my initial mind map in my sketch book.
- 'Moths that fly by day'
- 'Narrow hay-coloured wings fringed with a tassel of the same colour'
- 'Content with life'
- 'Soaring round the tree tops until it looked as if a vast net with thousands of black knots in it had been cast up into the air'
- 'Every twig seemed to have a knot at the end of it'
- 'the moth fluttering from side to side of his square of the window pane'
- 'Enormous energy of the world had been thrust into his frail and diminutive body'
In reading the text, I felt quite emotionally attached to the moth. Before reading this text I thought of moths as a pest. However in Virgina Woolf's text its almost as if the moth has been personified and I feel she is referring to human life about how we do just give up on things, but it takes something so small to change this view and to power through for life. I found myself by the end of the text close to emotional as it reminded me of my own life, and life of family members and how important it is never to give up.
Therefore it has given me ideas to create a media piece based on life/death, or even re-birth after death to show there is still hope. I will still use the idea of moths as they are really quite beautiful in a strange way considering how I felt about them before. I am always very interested in pattern colour and textures, and I feel this is why I find them so beautiful.
