Monster Chetwynd: Moths
Posted by Mount Stuart Trust: Contemporary Visual Arts Programme
Inside the house, the dialogue between the work and the neo-gothic fantasy of Mount Stuart's interiors continues with sculptural works and works on paper displayed in conversation with the decorative ceiling, mural and panels of the Family Bedroom.
Inherent to Monster's practice is an aesthetic of recycling materials and as part of Moths she has re-purposed an existing work, Folding House (2011) into a Moth Hub. The Moth Hub will give focus to Mount Stuart’s ongoing relationship with volunteers at Bute Museum & Natural History Society, who use the grounds for regular moth counts, contributing information to the National Moth Recording Scheme.
