We love these images of beautiful creatures that Japanese artist Aki Inomata has created by working with moths to create fashionable, delicate homes for the creatures. She offers the insects fragments of recycled women’s clothing, rather than twigs and leaves, from which they can build their cocoons. Entitled ‘Girl, Girl, Girl…’, the series of unconventional fabric habitats are self-fashioned by Bagworm moths. The artist trimmed textiles into miniature strips and cubes, closely mimicking substances natural to their habitat, and deposited the torn fragments into a petri dish that housed her Bagworm. the insects interwove the sections into soft shells, costuming the creatures into beautiful textile homes.
