The Yucca and the Moth

This quilt was designed to capture the symbiotic relationship between the yuccas of the high desert, sparkling in the crisp New Mexico sunshine, and the yucca moths that pollinate them.  The yucca moth is tiny, living inside the blossom of the yucca, but is a critical part of the life cycle of the desert yuccas.

52 x 59, 2014, Sold
