Emergence
- Acrylic on gesso board
- Erin Hunter
Emergence began as the third in a series of California pollinator-plant devotional pieces, but morphed into something else when I learned that most of the moths I planned to include in this piece don’t feed as adults—and therefore aren’t pollinators. The plants in this piece, rather than
being nectar sources, are larval food plants for each of the 20 moth species. All the moths and plants in this painting are California natives.
