I have the idea that I would quite like to produce and installation piece. After looking at some of the artists work, I have realized I am interested in media pieces that convey a message. Either through projections or 3D sculptures for example.
To get further inspiration than just from Stan Brakhage, and the creatures themselves I googled 'moth/butterfly installation pieces' these are my findings:
This piece is by artist Paul Villinski "When you take a close look at a beer can, you may notice that they have a really nice arc to them. Artist Paul Villinski has taken that same arc and turned it into butterflies in flight. Rescuing crushed beer cans from the streets of New York City, Williams carefully cuts each can and creates a marvelous fluttering array. He states that similar to the life of a butterfly, his process is representative of a cultural conversion all its own exploring “themes of transformation and recovery through metamorphosis.”
The Butterfly Installation by Taegan Roberts at The Youth Art Exhibition Titled 'Peel Your Eyes'
artist Taegan Roberts created this beautiful installation at a youth art exhibition in Geelong (a city in Victoria, Australia) called "Peel Your Eyes." Lit underneath with just one white light, 1,000 origami butterflies are stunningly soaring up to the ceiling. Called "Alis Volat Propis" (or "She Flies With Her Own Wings"), the installation is dedicated to the artist's mother who lost her own mother when she was young.

Industrial artists Katrina Mischer and Thomas Traxler have have created this piece called “Limted Moth” to represent the remaining 800-1,100 moths in the wild. The lamp has a light in the middle with numbered copper moths
Black Cloud, installation by artist Carlos Amorales is comprised of thousands of black paper cutout moths, which are affixed to gallery walls and ceilings in coalescent, unified compositions that occupy as much space as is available. Previous works by Amorales have also utilized silhouette-inspired imagery of insects, arachnids, and other creatures frequently associated with dark connotations.
